advice on inexpensive exhaust replacement

Hello everyone,
i have a 97 fed spec gxe with a b-pipe that has holes and a sagging / rusted y-pipe.

i'm in the process of researching the least inexpensive replacement.

has anybody have experience with this b-pipe?

(click the exhaust pipe)

everything on the web points me to the bosal part (the muffler link)

other places have the bosal for about $150

any experiences / advice would be appreciated.
Thanks guys

The bosal will work but it's thin and will start rusting before long.

I managed to redo my exhaust with low mileage used parts bought off the .org. Unfortunately junkyards cut up exhaust parts so unless you can find someone with exhaust parts in their garage, it can be hard to find them.

hmm,
so it seems that even the bosal is thin....
I am definitely going for the warp speed cat / y pipe combo but i wanted to see what the best choice is for the b-pipe.
thanks for the advice guys!!!

I just got the Bosal B from autopartswarehouse for $120 shipped. The resonator is smaller than the stocker and not like the can pictured. For the price, it seems to be a nice piece.

Hey im new here but just wanted to ask this real quick, If you replace the stock B-Pipe with a Stillen B-Pipe, what is the difference in noise? Does it make the car any louder?

Try again with your search.

Hint: The OP to the thread that you want is "bezerk###" #'s being random numbers I don't know off of the top of my head.

Sure was tough searching FOR YOU, all those links and so little information, sure am glad you started up this thread so i could learn about stillen b-pipes and cheap exhaust fixes!

its pretty simple. have a mech fix one up for you for 45 dollars, end of story. they can manderal bend all the pipes and make a better b-pipe per cost ratio than anything from a namebrand.

lock it up or better yet, delete this thread.
