So lets talk about exhaust, What works and what does not? Options

[96stgreendemon]

So i have been looking into this swap for awhile now and have most everything that i need written down and accounted for, but the thing that i am hung up on is what to do about the exhaust? I looked into the few that are available for the gt4 and they were around 900 bucks, so i want to know what everyone else has, maybe give me some ideas.
as of now its up between an OBX catback for the gt4 or the Blitz nur series
and will the exhaust from the st205 fit for my car with the right clearance?
I do plan on going with a 3" from downpipe back with an EMS or Berk downpipe.... so Thoughts?

i don't believe the hangers are the same for the gt4 muffler.

i've had a few people tell me on here that the gt4 exhaust don't fit.. everyone usually buys mandrel bends and has a exhaust shop weld the bends onto custome piping. that's what i'm doing.. 3 inch mandrel bent from berk down pipe strait pipe to a 3 inch inlet megan n1 turbo exhaust with a 4 and half inch outlet..

depending on how in a rush you guys are, I'll be having my downpipe back exhaust system for sale in a 2-3 weeks

it has a vibrant performance resonator, magnaflow high flow cat, skunk2 evo muffler, and alluminized steel piping. 3" all the way. one of my firends at work will be making a stainless steel system for me so this will be up for grabs.

this is what i spent building this system
resonator 90
high flow cat 70
muffler 60 ( got a super deal on this lol )
and 350 for the piping / labor


usually that's on the low side of the cost of a exhaust system for a swap. so that gives you an idea of what to expect if you decide to have yours custom made to your liking. if you with stainless steel piping the price increases to anywhere in between 800- and 1400 depending on the quality of steel they use, quality of the craftmanship and time they put in it.

if u want to go more than 300hp , i would mind put 3" exhaust all the way, but i have one custom 3" and its fit tight under the engine and it need to pass under the back right suspension arm cause its too big, i only know that its harder to build 3" than 2.5", if i had the choices , i would like having 2.5" now i need modify the one i got cause it too short by 2 inch

to be honest why not buy a welder? you can get one for under 200 then get the piping and what not and still save a few hundred; win win in my opinion because you will have metal super glue toy as well XD
