custom exhaust??
did anybody make their own custom exhaust systems? what did you use and what did you do? did you do all the welding? i need exhaust system, but i'm on tight budget, i should go for a custom exhaust system, at least, for now... any helps would be appreciated. thanks :)

I got a custom exhaust, but I let the shop do it. Unless you have the tools to do it, I would suggest the same. The biddest part will be bending the pipe, which requires a pretty big machine. I think it's called a bending mandrel. You car will also have to be on a lift.

If youre gonna spend the money on a custom exhaust, be sure to get mandrel bent tude. If you get the crush bent tube you wont be much further ahead than when you started.

hell yeah, i'll get the body shop to do it. but if anybody can give me their list of all the pipes and the sizes, i might look it up at home depot or any places that hasn't been mentioned. would the custom make a good sound like... VROOM, VROOM, VROOM? i need that kind of custom exhaust... but also, how much does the body shop charge for install, bending mandrel, and labor? i'm much new to this, but i tell you, just two days ago i got done install the eibach springs on my car with no experience at all. custom exhaust just sounds easy.

Well, I have 2.25 exhaust. I paid $320 all together.
$150 for magnaflow muffler and $170 for custom piping and everything else. |
<<<< Well, I have 2.25 exhaust. I paid $320 all together.
$150 for magnaflow muffler and $170 for custom piping and everything else. >>>> $320?! damn, still pricey to me, though. but if i was to get that done for about $300, i wouldn't be keeping it cause i will always want to upgrade the exhaust maybe to HKS or Racing Beat. well, i'm still getting the idea, though... i hate it, but my dad always tell me to save my money. woo. |
you can always get a ebay muffler for 50 bucks and pay another 100 for a complete exhaust tubing and installation, it will be crused tubing, but if you use 2.25 or 2.5 tubing, it won't matter anyways. i would recommend ditching the resonator and the second cat. those 2 things, mostly the car, really affect the sound of the car in the higher rpm range

I have a custom exhaust also , but if I could get a cat back at a decent price I would ... cause the amount of times I have delt with rusted pippes is just rediculous

I bought a Sparkco muffler through the original manufacturer guy. Paid $100 cdn including all taxes and shipping (received it the next day since he shipped it via. Fedex). Costed me $60 cdn for installation.

yea i like it a lot.
It's a muffler that replaces your existing one, it needs to be welded on (thus a custom pipe is needed). It comes with a removable silencer. But whether you have the silencer on or not, the exhaust makes a strong deep exhaust note. (trust me, you'll like it). And without the silencer, I noticed that the car feels a little smoother (maybe due to less backpressure now). You won't really notice any power increase, but definitely the car runs smoother, and definitely sportier-feeling. Hope it helps. Eric |
