did you just straight pipe it before, or did you have a presilencer in there? if you just straight piped it, i'd highly suggest you get something like the downpipe/presilencer combo from racing beat. anyway, i've got the corksport catback with the racing beat dp/ps and i'm happy with it, so ya could pick up one of them

Yea, i got a racing beat header then staright pipes all the way back to some ebay duals.....there true duals though, but oh my god! It's way to loud for my liking.....people are always looking at me like damn! put a muffler on that thing! I don't want to buy a cat back or anything like that i want a custom cat-back....cat backs are too expensive! So what do you think will be alright sounding? A cat, resonator then to a single 2.5 inlet muffler? but what kind of muffler? I like magnaflow and racing beat, but i'm not getting racing beat cause everyone has it and it's way to expensive....what can i get off of ebay that should sound good? I'm an ebay guy!

the reason racing beat stuff is expensive is because it lasts. i would highly suggest the racing beat presilencer. if not i think it's the Borla XR1 or something like that, i hear it is a quality piece, but again expensive. and i'm not sure what too expensive is for a catback, but i just got my corksport catback for $289. it's 80mm stainless steel pipe(read: i'll never have to replace that **** again) if you find a used one, it's even cheaper.

well, you can get one from corksport. and i'd highly suggest the racingbeat presilencer. from what i understand, the CS catback has been known to put out ~130 db with a straight pipe.

PFC Mooney,

What makes you think that the cops on Rucker Boulevard or the MP's at Mother Rucker will appreciate a louder exhaust?

Enterprise police officers can be dicks.

Racing beat cost the same as oem muffs. They are kinda trick because they basicly are stock but custom. I like the borlas idea. They have an excellent warrenty. I wounder if it is good for the rotery moters as well. Good luck :gay2: :gay2:
