haven't seen this one on eBay, figured I would try it out for and let you all know how it sounds. real deep and guttural at the low RPMs



obviously joking. Looking for some thoughts on where I should go from here/how much this will be to fix? I don't know much about exhaust, is this something I would have to replace that whole back half of the exhaust or something that can get patched up?

 

I would just buy a OE replacement catback off eBay.

 

I agree with chris

 

Is this your catback? Call NAPA for an OEM replacement or MES http://www.mandrelexhaustsystems.com...ima/Categories!

 

on the mes... cmax has a thread going about that, check it out. not sure if he's still sellin his crush bent cat back but for replacement that offers a bit of performance and sound that cat back is a steal

 

thanks everyone, I appreciate it. Being back at college means money/repair time is obviously at a minimum, I am definitely curious about the MES one because I've always wanted to add a little extra rumble to my exhaust, nothing wild, just a little extra sound over stock.

Is the MES exhaust a simple bolt-on kind of addition? Obviously it needs a muffler welded to it, which I'm not too knowledgeable about, but I'm guessing would add an extra 50/75ish for a decent online muffler? How much would it cost to weld the muffler to the exhaust?

I guess my big question is what is the difference between just buying a OEM replacement vs. buying one of those MES systems and buying/welding the muffler in terms of hassle and price.

 

MES kit comes with all you need but they say welding is recommended. Great kit and cant beat the price

That Crush bent Catback is history it's sold.....RE: MES....Welding is involved definitely at the most forward flange located at the rear of the cat and the O2 bung you'll need to purchase as well...but if you wanted to use U-bolt clamps else where you could....Check out NAPA online they offer an OEM replacement from Bosal....the price isn't that bad!
