cat back question

Whats up guys? I have the opportunity to buy a brand new cat back for my car for a measly $50! Thats right brand new, still in the box cat back for only $50! The thing is it's not a greddy or a cattman, its a mondza pace setter (2.5)


here is my question or should I say questions.
Do any of you have this cat back on your car?
If so does it sound ricy?
Have any of you herd any bad reviews?

Thanks alot guys


I'll probably still get it regardless because $50 you cant shake a stick at that price!

I can't remember hearing any good news about that cat-back, but for $50 I'd use it

True you can paint it, but the thing is you need to find a paint that will deal with the heat of the exhaust. You might be able to use paint found at Autozone or wherever that you can paint engine blocks with, but you still wont know if that will prevent rusting. For 50 bucks I would've bought it aswell.

You go buy a can of high temp paint from autozone. That's all you need. It will help prevent against rust.

Go look at a can of paint....it depends what you use. At least 24 hours to get enough strength to stay on the pipes when hot.
