Post Your Exhaust Setup

Tell us about your exhaust setup. What do you think of it in terms of fitment, performance and looks. How much did you spend. Would you do it differently if you had to do it again? how much did you spend? Post some pics.

Budget Y, Budget B, Magnaflow resonator, Apexi Dunk muffler.

If I could do it again: Budget Y, custom B which goes into a Dynomax Super Turbo muffler (for Camaro) and splits into duals running behind the spare tire well.

Budget Y, RT Cat, Custom B, Custom rear section with piece of poop 3A racing muffler. I spent almost $700 on this setup. Y-pipe was 180, RT Cat was 200. So thats 300 for a cat-back that is 2.5" but sounds like @ss.

If I could do it again and had unlimited money: Stainless Y because of looks and durability(Don't remember who makes them), RT Cat, 2.5" Greddy SP2 exhaust cause its looks good, sounds good and is good.

RT cats use Catco cores. A Catco core is about $35 and the RT cat is ~$200 or so. RT is local for me, and the shop that does a lot of their mandrel bending was showing me some unfinished RT stuff and they told me it's all Catco.


And as for my setup, by next week it will be. 2.5" downpipe, no cat, 3" custom mandrel exhaust to a 3" straight through muffler. Just waiting for a few more pipes to get here. A turbo w/ a stock cat sucks.

My setup is a warpspeed y-pipe and high flow cat, budegt b-pipe with magnaflow resonator, and a dual 2.5"tip muffler.

I love how this setup sounds and am glad i got it, the only problem i have had was with the b-pipe hanging low and i had to get some hangers made.

If i could have done anything diffrent i would have done dual exhaust but i was shaky before about getting it because i didnt want fartcan sound.

This beast's set up is BUDGET Y---Apexi WS Catback. I spent about $620 on this exhaust set up. The Apexi Ws exhaust by itself sound soooo bad@ss. It sound awesome. But when you add a y-pipe it sound a little farty. Too farty for my standards.

If I could do it all over again I would do the whole exhaust set up all stainless steel the cat. included(mahahaha) and go with a Greddy Sp2 exhaust. I've heard this set up before and it sounds godly.

Cattman Y pipe, stock cat, custom 2.5" b pipe with Magnaflow resonator, and a Apexi N1 NA muffler.

Good sound, a little on the loud side but overall I like it. Next up Turbo N1, with two resonators.

Warpspeed aluminized mandrel bent y pipe, Apexi WS cat back exhaust.
$200 for the y pipe, $480 for the full exhuast. i love the set up right now, and i dont know how i could make it better then getting headers and a SS y pipe instead of the aluminized steel. Fitment not an issue, they both went on perfect and no adjusting.

Warpspeed Aluminized Y-pipe $225, custom 2.75 inch race pipe $30, replaced Cat Converter with Glass Pack $10, 60 Series Flowmaster (thats right Flowmaster) Muffler $138. No muffler tip just a generic piece of aluminum piping 2.5 inches around to the end of the bumper, $ FREEBIE. Overall not too much money.

I'm not sure I would do anything different other than a different muffler tip. I love the sound it produces and enjoy my lil bit o' power. I would really like to change the piping that curves around the spare tire well to 2.5 or 2.75 inch piping. But not too sure about how loud it would get.

oh well thats me, SleepyMaxxx68
