im kinda tight w/ money right now but really want to put an exhaust system. i was thinking about going to a custom muffler shop and having them put on custom pipping. and i was going to buy a rear section. what should i ask for at the shop?? should i just tell them to put a resonater, and pipping? any advice?

thanx in advance

 

Frankencar is cheap. Just be patient with time to get it.

 

i'd just save up and get a bolt-on aftermarket exhaust...they're a bit pricey, but the fit-and-finish of the exhaust is excellent...plus you get a name brand exhaust(if that's what you're into)....

but if you want to get a custom exhaust made, just ask for a 2 1/2 inch mandrel bend pipes with a resonator. and it's probably a good idea to keep your catalytic convetor on.

 

ok thanx alot, how much should that cost?

 

a b pipe will give you all the power a full catback will give you minus the rice......

 

so should i tell the shop to make a custom catback, and ill purchase the rear section?

 

ask for a 2.5" piping with at least a 18" resonator
(stainless steel) from the cat back to the muffler
(if this exceeds $180 then just order it from www.budgetperformance.com) I suggest keeping stock muffler -add some tips- because it will be louder than stock already (350Z /FX35 ish note)

But you should do what "you want" - but i strongly suggest you get the 2.5" piping work done before adding a muffler- this way you can determine the sound you want

check my homepage for pics of my exhaust/dyno

 

ok thanx thats the sound im going for

 

he has a 2000...i believe a Y-pipe gives you the best power for the $$$. I put the cattman y on my 02 and i love it! I can only imagine if i lost the 2 cats up front!

 

so would the muffler shop put a y pipe on for me, or should i buy 1 online??

 

anyone??????

 

Just buy a frankencar exhaust.

 

cat back? are they expensive? or do u mean just the rear section?

 

Don't do just rear section. Keep saving and do it right the first time. Start w/ WSP Ypipe.

 

i wasnt going to do just rear section, i thought it would be cheaper to get the shop to put on thier own piping. good idea?? kinda tight w/ money

 

I'm gonna put on the frankencar when I have the $$...looks like a good deal from a reputable name.

 

thats true

 

I was looking at your homepage. Is the b-pipe you have w/o a resonator and then you added a custom one? Or is that resonator part of the pipe and it just comes in 2 separate pieces?

 

Yes- SS res and 2.5 " piping back to muffler - 2 pcs for $190
Good finish /great sound

 

nice!!!!
