Sup Fellas,
I know that I've been talkin alot of smack about getting my Catback custom done but...I went ahead and got the Greddy Catback anyway...."money aint a thang"!! errr sometimes. Here is my complete story. Hope this answers some of your questions about it!
Got it for $525 from a place in LINY and then I paid $80 bucks to have it installed at a performance muffler shop.
The mechanic there was real cool and he commented that rarely had he seen an aftermarket catback that fit so well...he was impressed because they didn't have to bend it or adjust it at all..."it was tailor made for the 5th gen Max". No rattles, no banging against other parts in the chassis. Oh yeah, and I had the Random Tech Cat put in at the same time. So now my whole exhaust is done from y-pipe to muffler.
Bees in a can you ask??? Well, it did come out a hell of alot louder than it was with just the y-pipe but not nearly as bad as what I read in the other thread. When the guy drove it off the lift, it sounded louder, not quite bees in a can, but pushing it. The sound is definately bearable...not as bad as some of those honda guys. Inside the car it sounds loud! I guess the cabin makes the noise echo alot more. But again to people outside the car, it dosn't sound bad at all!
I also noticed the power!! Before the Catback and Cat Converter, I would redline in second gear at about 60mph...after the Catback I dont hit redline until almost 70mph! I just got it done today so I'm still noticing different things.
I also took a series of pics of the entire exhaust while my car was up on the lift from y-pipe all the way back to the muffler so you guys can see what it really looks like! Unfortunately, (and this may sound dumb) but I dont know how to link my pics to this site so you guys can view them...Hell, I cant even get a pic for my Sig!! I Dont know how! I'm trusting that one of you kind souls will look out and explain how to do this for me because I took those pics for the "Org". Somebody e-mail me with the tutorial. I'd appreciate it and I'll get the pics on here before the weekend is out! Holla....

I dont know how or why though....just the standard answer that this exhaust mod provides for higher flo and better performance??!?!? I may still be a novice but I know what I see and this is what is happening. Maybe the other guys who had the mod done can back me up and tell us what types of difference they felt.

Irvine78 that speed is about right (67mph) after the catback mod. Can somebody with out this mod tell us how fast they can get up to in second gear? I know I remember a few guys on here saying they could barely get up to 60mph...Someone tell us just to clarify!

I talked to Adam {the guy that's in charge of the deal} and he said that even though the expiration date is tomorrow, he will renew the deal for another month.I was originally concerned with how loud the exhaust was going to be, but.... what the HELL.
I have a feeling that it will be a nice RICH sound.... nut 'buzzy' like some small-displacement four-bangers.
