Any Exhaust Recommendations

So As I Was Driving On 476 A Few Days Ago, I Went Over An Imperfection In The Road. Next Thing You Know I Hear Scraping. Damn Thing Was Beyond Rusted. Instead Of Just Going To Meineke To Get The Cheapest Setup, Might As Well Finish With The Rest Of The Modifications. The Droning Is Very Annoying But I've Developed A Tolerance For It. What Do I Need? Where Should I Be Looking? Thanks In Advance

Looks like you need cat-back replaced, I'd take it to a shop and get them to check for other leaks (if you can't).

Yeeesh!

You def need a catback, theres many options but if you are on a budget your best bet is probably going to a exhaust shop and having it custom made. Do NOT buy one off ebay, they suck and i know that firsthand.

You probably will need to replace your ypipe soon and probably your cat if they are similarly rusted, if they have lots of rust its only a matter of time before they leak.

Downside is youll be spending a good hunk of change on this, however the good news is youll see quite nice performance increases here.

You dont need another exaust. Just ride around like that. Less weight and you dont have to deal with another exhaust rusting ever again lol

A little too late for that now... Found a setup for 135... That'll tie me over until I'm able to get something better

No pics of the y pipe but I will have it all inspected at the time of installation... Was gonna go with the Custom Maxima setup but researched and many mentioned it was no more than an eBay setup

As someone who made that same fatal mistake, youre literally better off with your current mangled exhaust than wasting your cash. Im not even exaggerating. Save another weeks paycheck and get something good.

Have fun with the POS fartcannon ripping **** and having it go CLANG CLANG CLANK over *every* pebble in the road as it slams against the top of your rear axle. That thing fits terrible, to the point where i threw mine out when i replaced it because id get horrible karma bestowed upon me for all eternity if i sold it to some sucker.

If its not too late cancel the order, your car is going to go from being loud to being noisy and broken sounding.
