exhaust tips

[thake618]

So I am looking at getting exhaust here in a few weeks and am not sure what exactly to do I got a quote from a local shop for a high flow cat. 2 1\2 in stainless and a magna flow muffler they quoted me around 750 does this seem high I mean I can get a cat back system for 500 bucks. Would just changing my cat and muffler be prety much the same? Help lol any recommendations

If you can see mine I don't even have tips it's just the end of the pipe bent down

I have a Hooker cat-back. With some corsa clone tips. Its not SS but i love the sound.

For the money, a Magnaflow Cat-Back can't be beat. Good quality stainless, nice looking tips, and a price that can't be beat. $750 for a muffler and cat replacement is WAY too much. Your location shows as Erie PA.....do you even have emissions there? If not, cat delete and call it a day.

[thake618]

the 750 is for a whole system with cat and back i still thought it was too much. remember this is for a v6 lol im trying to get the best sound lol without spending 750 lol

Ah for a v6. Use a stock v8 pull off. Ive heard those sound pretty good. So do true dual setups.

Speak to a couple of local shops to see what they might charge for install.
I have a local place here that I can send my customers to that quoted me $125-150 for installation.

At least you could save some money doing it this way.

To be honest there aren't really any sound clips out there that I can find on a V6.
But, I will tell you this. For years I have recommended Magnaflow. I liked their quality of work and the product so much I put one of their systems in my pick up.

However, when I came across OBX, I realized that it is also a quality product, seems to be well made, welds appear good.
I actually like it so much, that their exhaust and headers are going on my C5 Vette as we speak.
Their systems are extremely popular with the 4th & 5th gen Camaro owners and the LS crowd
And, you certainly can't beat the price!

[thake618]

sounds like a tough decision I want the best sound for sure and have heard the magnaflow. haven't heard much personally about obx. also I need a new cat do you guys have anything for high flow cats? 2.5 in/out that's no too long or short lol, I found cats idk how short or long I can go. thanks!

[thake618]

also do you know the size of the muffler on the obx system thanks again

[Ibanezz]

There's plenty of sound clips of peoples 3.8s and I'm sure some have 3.4s with em. Albeit changing headers, cat and can will alter the sound. But damn that's a good deal on the magna flow. Its 527 anywhere else. If I didn't just buy a used exhaust locally I'd get that in a heartbeat

[thake618]

well as far as my cat goes I don't know how short or long I can go without having to mod a bolt up system. also is a shorter cat better? anyone lol

[thake618]

when im buying a cat what length should It be so my pipes other pipes don't need moved/modded

[firebird_1995]

Best thing to do is measure what you currently have installed. You never know, it may have already been replaced once and isn't the same length as stock.

[thake618]

Alright so I did some measuring and I found a f body owner selling a brand new magnaflow high flow for 50 bucks its a good one lol. However it's 3 in. I'm not sure if my car can do 3 inch I I got a reducer from the manifold to the cat and then 3 inch to the muffler OR would another reducer after the cat to 2.5 inch be safe or would it have a negative affect in the sound?
