Which Exhaust

I decided to get exhaust for my 2000 max, so i figured id do some research. And I found all these horrible articles on .org about how people were getting pipes that wouldn't fit and stiff like that. Now, I know that not every company is perfect, and I know that once in a while things get screwd up, but i don't know who to buy from. I heard some good and bad things about Budget and Warpspeed. Stillen I hear is good, but more expensive. So what would u recomend?

I understand what you're saying...and trust me...NO amount of searching on any product that you're not sure about will really help you make up your mind bc everybody has their own opinion about everything and there is always at least one problem with every brand or one horror story from somebody that will make you think twice about purchasing a certain brand...People on here just get tired of seeing the same repeated threads asking the same questions so they tell you to search and obviously that's not going to really allow you to decide...so as far as helping you...all I can say is to look around at various posts and look at people's sig to see what they have and possibly ask them for their experiences...I have stock, and the only exhaust I have heard in person is the Cattman cat back exhaust and it sounded pretty nice and I heard very good things about fitment, but of course, like everything else, you're going to pay the most for the best...good luck with your choice and let us know what you get

Frankencar or Cattman > all other exhaust setups IMO.

I know what you mean too, now some of the sound clips on the exhaust sticky dont work, at least for the vq30. What would have a deeper tone and more subtle, is it the Cattman or Frankencar catbacks? I dont want a high pitched bees in a can sound, is it possible with a smaller 6 cylinder?

I've ordered Cattman a couple days ago. I never heard anyone complaining about Cattman products.

is Cattman actually still making that exhaust for Mossy?....the only person I'm aware of with it is Mike Jez (BlackbirdVQ) and haven't heard about anyone else getting it

(and yeah, I know they are the same )

Yes....I misspoke - I meant that the Mossy one was the Cattman design, not that Brian and crew were actually making them My bad.
