Well i know that a huge problem with the stock b-pipe is that it gets squashed after the resonator. Wouldn't it be possible to cut that piece out, weld a connecter pipe to the muffler and weld a bracket to the sides of the pipe to hold it up instead? Seams alot more cost effective than a whole new b-pipe even tho an aftermarket b-pipe is 1/4in bigger.

 

yes it can be done at ur local muffler shop.

 

I paid $50 for a custom 2.5" b-pipe at a muffler shop. That was installation and everything. I love it, and it gave me a little better power and seems to have helped throttle response.

 

How would that be more cost effective when you can get the entire B pipe done at a muffler shop for about the same cost? I had the entire cat back on mine done for $210... and thats with a dual exhaust. I bought my own muffler and tips they just did the pipes.

 

B/c my friend (owns a shop) said he do it for 10 bucks and the exhaust shops around me want about 140 for a 2.5 w/ a resonator.

 

w/ resonator or w/o?

 

For $10 thats fine if you want to keep the stock exhaust. Its crushed so with the vibrations it doesnt hit that small crossmember thing.

 

I kept stock resonator and stock cat. I mean, replacing it with a high flow cat does not really do anything for you in regards to hp, and neither does replacing the resonator. They are both perfectly good, and then all the muffler shop has to do it put the new muffler that you take to them on, and bend you some 2.5" b-piping. Simple.
