Okay, I'm getting exhaust on my 2001 and I would love some feedback. What would be better, O/R h-pipes or custom? and i think im getting flowmaster 40 series. and thats all i have thought through so far

[Assassin_Dan]

Your better off just getting a custom system fabbed up at a muffler shop and getting them to throw the mufflers on. There really isn't a huge benefit from buying a kit. If you do want to the offroad pipe then your gonna need M.I.L eliminators or a tuner to keep the engine running properly. It will still run and drive, just your check engine light will be on.

if all you're looking for is sound (which i hope you are on this car) get the flowmasters.

[crashnebula]

ummm...is it just me or is it reaallllllly expensive for the 99-01 year 6 cyl???? im quoted at 750-850 for cat back with a new high flow cat, with magna flows.

[shadow5403]

a high flow cat mid-pipe will be just as expensive as a catback system so that sounds about right for magnaflows and HF cats.

god that sucks....i was trying to get my exhaust done this weekend.....dont got that kinda money

[shadow5403]

dont get the mid-pipe then....just get duals......should run anywhere from 3-400 for basic catback.

[crashnebula]

i guess im confused on what the mid pipe is....im under the impression that its the high flow cat, 2 1/2 piping all the way through, a y and two mufflers and tips at the end...am i missing something?

[shadow5403]

the mid pipe is what goes from the end of your manifolds/headers to about the middle of the car. From there is where the catback begins. The midpipe has the catalytic converters, where the catback has the mufflers and tips at end

heres a basic catted mid-pipe for stock manifold/shorty headers



basic catback:

[crashnebula]

im getting just the cat back done, magnaflow exhaust for 560 after labor and tax.....better than the 1500 i was quoted to replace all 4 cats....

you're getting ripped off.

should be in the 320 dollar range to do the mufflers dumped, thats it. 220 to delete your phase 1's and put in highflow cats.

Why? Magnaflow has some of the more expensive cats on the market and they price at 100 even ON THEIR website. All a muffler shop has to do is weld them into the existing piping.

then you apparently have never priced hi-flow cats...

[crashnebula]

as it was explained to me, there are four cats under our car (99-04) and to replace them will only get me an additional 2-3 hp average......not sure how or why but....thats what 4 people told me....and i was quoted at 200 each. I tryed Midas, Pep Boys, A mom and pop shop, and a personal friend back home.

[crashnebula]

oh and midas wanted to charge 850 before tax and labor.....for just the muffler kit...without cats

[Onemanzu]

no go to mom and pop shops, local places are usually best... find a local muscle car forum or group and see what they say usually local places have wise old men that can help you out...

[crashnebula]

thats what i did...and im paying 560.....but thats the cheapest i could find anywhere...

[Onemanzu]

sad!

i paid $473.74 or something like that for headers back which was the best i could find
