Just wondering how this sounds to you guys..... Went to a local 'exhaust center' as they call it and the guy priced me at around $350 not including muffler for 2.5" piping, "high-flow" performance cat and a resonator... I noticed in the first post you mentioned paying a little over $100 for your set up on your supra, I'm trying to figure out why mine will cost 350 lol

resonators aren't all too cheap but I got my exhaust done for 110. But I bought a muffler before i went to get it done and that wasn't very cheap either.. Idk, maybe its just me but that seems kind of high, maybe I'm just lucky to have an inexpensive exhaust specialist near me..

I got a quote for a 3" mandrel bent stainless steel straight piping (cat to muffler) and the guy quoted me almost $500cdn...

I know mandrel bent ss stuff is top notch, but dayam... thats pricey.

that is just ridiculous! mine was mandrel bent. and my exhaust was from the header back, 110

I feel like I'm not contributing at all to this thread but I'm sorry, I just wanna make sure I make the right choice haha... But anyways, went to another shop and I think I might go with this one, priced me at $90 for 'pipework', $150 for the flowmaster cat converter, and $50 for a resonator... $290 total so you don't have to bust out the TI83.... Still feels like I'm getting ripped off but oh well...

Any one with sound clips? I'm looking at a setup with an ebay header, then probably 2 or 2.5" piping thru 1 or 2 resonators to no muffler. I have experience with v8's using a resonator and no muffler and getting great results, but not sure how it would sound to have just the cat, resonator, and straight back.

there is a sound clip of mine but i have a st with the stock exhaust and a muffler sounds decent to me, but i wanna re-do it

Does this one belong to anyone here?

It sounds so good! Pretty much exactly what I'm looking for if I go with a muffler, and I'm definitely going to use the 350Z/G35 resonator (especially since my buddy might be doing exhaust on his G35 soon, free parts for me )

I'm a ricer so I got my muffler welding on to stock piping.

Not wasting money on a exhaust system that won't help much haha.

The whole thing will come when the 3sgte is bought.

I don't know why I haven't posted this up yet...


This was the exhaust system I had installed on the Yelli Celi. 2.5" under-axle to a Vibrant Performance muffler. Sounded great, but that might have been the 20V.

^ That looks like a great setup. What'd that run you if you don't mind my asking? I've got a muffler set aside already, (IDK exactly what kind it is, it actually looks very similar to what you've got there) but the piping you've got there looks like what's probably the best choice.

it was actually free, but only because i had paid for the system, and the shop did a bad job on it, so i brought it back and told them to fix it, which ended up getting an entire catback fabricated again. that setup initially cost me around $330 dollars for parts and labor. since i didnt want them welding straight to the muffler i got two giant hose clamps (the ones you tighten with a flathead) and they fabricated the mounting bracket on that.



sorry for the lack of proper punctuation. i'm on my cell phone right now.

A pro wielder will actually use an exhaust clamp that was made for your round cannons. vs wielding on the muffler to hang it up which will eventually lead to rust and a hole in your muffler. Straight pipes do not count for a muffler unless you want to go deaf.

I havent heard to many people talking about the difference on GTs. I got a 94 gt and thinking of going with the obx b10 with a aero resonator from the cat. 2.5"

Is there any difference between 2.5" and 2.0"?

Right now on my 92 I have an ebay header(which deleted my cat) and stock piping from there back to a "noir style" muffler, which is black, has a 2.5" inlet, and a 3 inch tip. I like it because it has a nice deep tone, with a stock look.

I have a nice little exhaust leak near my flex pipe, so I think once I fix that, it will sound really good, and I will get a sound clip for you guys.

I beg to differ - I have a 94 GT coupe, Fed/Canadian emissions and all I had was 1 cat bolted on the end of the exhaust manifold. I replaced that setup with the 4-1 race header from seller surewinproducts on ebay. I'm still running stock exhaust and does not sound ricey at all. It actually sounds pretty good. The way mine is with stock exhaust is header-flex pipe-resonator-muffler. I'm actually getting ready to run 2.5" stainless all the way back with an Aero AR20 resonator and a Megan Racing M-Spec II muffler (carbon fiber). Anybody know of a better muffler/resonator setup. I thought about the Aero Turbine 2540i instead of the MR M-Spec. I'm open to suggestions - I don't mind a loud exhaust as my stereo system will probably droen out the exhaust anyway.

i finally got time to get around to this. im gettin 2.25 piping with a 12''magnaflow resonator (should be here tomorrow) to a dynomax muffler.

my question is cat or no cat?

i want that kind of deep tone not raspy.

If any of you would please give me some advice on this because it is either going to the shoop tomorrow or monday.
