Why do they have larger resonators, now? Whiny *****es complaining?
The sound was already too smooth. I actually don't like it. It's deeper, which is good, but it sounds nothing like 2.5. You can't hear the pulses and there's zero rasp.

Lmao you just heard about this? California is nuts about those things, you cant buy any "harmful" chemical there. Haha
Wd-40 is illegal for commercial use there, but apparently still legal for household use? Its weird...but apparently if you get caught with wd-40 in Cali its like drug dealer selling dope you get fined and jailed possibly...but weed is legal. Go figure hahaha

I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything, but it really is kinda crazy that those systems go for that amount of money. Don't get me wrong they are very nice and the welds are first rate and clean. I know everyone is going to jump up on me and tell me mandrel bent pipes cost some crazy amount of money and it has to be exactly this way because of flow. All I say to that is no it doesn't.
I'm not trying to call any one company out or any single person out with the above statement either To tell you the truth I don't even know who's system that is. I do however know how much it cost me to make my own mandrel bent 3" cat back. I will admit the welds on that system are nicer than mine.
Like I said I'm not trying to be a d🔣🔡k or anything it just seems like a lot of money.

No one cares. All we read is that there's some cheap *** crybaby that wants it, but can't afford it. You act like Cattman was raking in serious profit and overcharging. He quit b/c it wasn't profitable. Cry somewhere else.

This is no different than anything else you buy. You can either buy knock offs that are lesser quality and can have compromises. Or you can buy the real deal that is guaranteed to be perfect and last longer than you will use it. No one cares.

it's great that because you don't want to spend 880 on something you could make yourself that makes you not have money or you're broke. You guys are too much the funny part is his deep down inside you know that 880 was wasted. Otherwise you wouldn't sit here and talk down to somebody for simply stating an opinion. If you had money you wouldn't be driving a fifth-generation Maxima. So don't come off like 880 doesn't mean anything to you.

Funny thing is I admire the craftsmanship in lord Cattmans products. As I said I own a set of his headers. The only thing I was saying is 880 is a lot of $ for a cat back. I know what the components cost me and it was much less hell it was a lot less and I even bought a Carltanator for a pretty penny. Once I bought that piece I thought about it and said why can't i just make my own. So I did and after doing so I was like damn I could've made my own resonator too. If you do a little research you can see how much the pieces are. There's no difference in the 3" mandrel bent pipes I get in NJ than the ones Cattman gets. If you want to believe there is go for it. I will take some pics tomorrow and post them. The ones I have now aren't very good so in daylight tomorrow I will shoot some and post.

My apologize Nestorlugo I was driving when I read your post and I just misunderstood you. Sorry for the unnecessary shrapnel.

^This got out of hand quick. Its settled then; lets wait and see your pics...
Id agree with most things you said as well. No ones gona see your exhaust as far as welds may/may not be concerned. If you claim the mandrel bent pipes you used are as good as cattmans then be it( i believe they very well could be)
Its not as if hes a steel "producer" him self.....
Beyond that; if it fits nearly as good as cattmans and doesnt leak or rust easy on you id say you have a winner being that its 3 inch.

The only person to comment on how he is driving and posting in the forums at the same time, was george__ ????? Everyone jumped on the kid in the previous page who was driving at 80 in a downpour. I really didnt want to open my mouth but, nobody should be playing with their phones/other devices while driving.
#1427
Once again you're showing what a moron you are. There are thousands of sites I can go on right now and have pre bent mandrel bent pipes delivered to my door. Matter of fact you want aluminized or stainless your choice I used alum because I painted my pipes and it's a 12 yo car how many years do I need it to last?? You think you know but you don't go away. Ohh and guess what that super expensive/elusive mandrel bent piping you can get what you need for this job under $100.

[QUOTE="Child_uv_KoRn;9004268"] Or you can buy the real deal that is guaranteed to be perfect and last longer than you will use it.
How's that guarantee working out?? If you have a problem with your "guaranteed" system that I can't afford what are you going to do?? The guy you seem to worship blew town and took your guarantee with him. Lots of people and before I say this I don't know anyone from BRM gave them a hard time when they tried to introduce a new system to compete with cattman. I only know what I read doing research when I was planing out my project. Anyway a lot of people gave those guys (and some still do) a hard time but why?? All they tried to do was introduce competition which anybody even a heavy equipment operator from nj knows is good for the consumer. People like you are part of the reason why we have no aftermarket support. Just because someone tries something or says something that you don't agree with they're a crybaby or a ***** or they're broke. Meanwhile what have you done what have you made? Nothing you're a keyboard tough guy who's not tough at all.

Before I go out and take pics and change a flat tire I just want to apologize to the readers of the thread and the org for comments that were written on the board last night. Things got heated and they got a little out of control and I apologize. All I wanted to do last night was show people who don't or can't spend $880 on a catback that if they use their minds they can make something just as functional for a lot less. I wasn't trying to call out any one manufacturer or person or put their product down so if it appeared that way I sincerely apologize. Mattx.

Installed Koni Sports shocks and Moog LCA....The Koni Sport Shocks in the front location were set to 360* degrees of Firmness, Rears set to 180* degrees of firmness .... The ride is magnificent.... The only thing I can say is the Koni's require quite a bit of work to install compared to the Illuminas!
