I got my magnaflow muffler installed lately and asked the guy about custom exhausts. He asked what I wanted but I didn't know lol. So if i were to get one, what should i ask for? Also, since i only have an auto, is it worth it. This is reputedly a very good shop and seems pretty inexpensive. Thanks guys. How much would a custom exhaust normally cost?

I got my 2.5 inch cat back done for $160.00. Mine is an auto too. I dont plan on racing my car or anything but I do want more power out of it. I definately think it was worth it. I would go with the 2.5 though. Youll love the way it sounds.

i got 2.25" cat. back on my 7AFE which most people say is just right for a N/A 4 cylinder... not saying 2.5" is too big, but 2.25" is just as good if you are staying naturally aspirated
i got my cat. back system for $210 but my muffler was $170 so $40 for just the exhaust piping from the catalytic converter back felt a diff. in higher rpm, not like OMG!!! but it felt more responsive

I got mine done for $160 as well, and i have the same set up 2.5in catback. it sounds really nice. I didn't notics much of a difference in performance, maybe i little top end, but thats it. Still worth getting though

i heard that installing the piping under the axle is the best way to go.

^ woot to that. I'm dropped, big time and i went under axle 2.75 in. piping and i have yet to scrape. oh ya, and im on 15' in. factory rims. So im damn low. Only reason i went with a 2.75 pipe, straight pipe, both cats removed is cause im swapping next summer, and i need good flow. under axle, i have about 3 small bends in the whole pipe.
