Only one way to find out, Dude! Go (to several of them if you have that option) and ask them for anestimate.

 

dam...i got to set a day aside for this then...i noticed our OEM piping doesn't have any crush bends...does that mean i can use the stock piping and just take the muffler out and get the same hp gain or no, when i was under my car from the back i didn't see any crush bends it looked like straight piping except that the muffler ...or i think it was the muffler, it was real close to the engine.

 

Front to back: Manifold/header/pre-cat, cat (2 bolts/nuts,) resonator, muffler, tailpipe.

Sure! I don't see why you couldn't use the stock piping and either remove or replace components....?

Oh, and the resonator doesn't really hurt anything, but might help with harmonic tones and back fires, so I would consider keeping it in the system. On the other hand, a high-flow cat can be a nice addition!!

 

so if i want to keep my stock piping what do i need to remove and what should i keep?

 

can anyone confirm the size of the oem exhaust? is it 1.75"?

 

if i were you, i'd remove the resonator, and get a flow-thru style muffler. i cant see it being that loud since your using the stock piping.

but get prices first, and see how much a custom made catback would cost.

I found a few places that are doing it for 400 then i found one guy who seems to be flexible and is going to do a full cat back with 2.25 with hi flow cat and w/e muffler i want for 300-350. should i do it...i think so...

 

it sounds promising. good luck.

 

is it hard to install exhaust systems yourself if you have all the necessary components??? for example if i buy a Magnaflow or Vibrant catback?
