I have the opportunity to buy a Tanabe G power cat back for a $160 (used)



im currenty using a magnaflow muffler with a 18" resonator. Which do u think is better for me. To re-pipe my magnaflow 2.25" crush bent. Or pickup a Tanabe system for $160 and have 2.3" mendrel bent. Only thing thats stopping me from buying a tanabe is how ugly it might look. i love the way my dual tip looks now.

 

I say no to that one. i really don't see it looking good on the CL.

 

Looks like a lil turd

 

yea i hate those tips.

run 22'' resonator with 2.5 piping and pick your muffler.

I use a Buddy Club muffler and I get complements.

I think its a bit loud though.

 

not a fan of those tips at all; keep the magnaflow
kthxbye

 

Yeah, that doesnt look good at all.

 

what's wrong with tanabe? But mine isn't that one though. Why change it out when you already have an exhuast daniel. Spend the money on something else.

 

oh my god

 

Magnamuff all the way.

Do it right change the crushed piping to mandrel bent with 22" resonator and put on a permanent smile

 

tanabe for the win!

mandrel bent piping for the win!

that's 2/2 for me.

 

Just get some mandrel bent for your magnamuff and save yourself some cheddar.

 

my h22 is suffering from the 1.5" piping or watever is stock. but $160 for a tanabe setup is good.. I guess ill save my money for a system thats good looking and good performing..

 

Bump daniel

 

i gatta find someone in da neighborhood that can do that, its $80 to $100 for crush. i wonder how mush mendrel will be.

 

I was quoted around $350-$400 for mandrel bent piping. It's an expensive machine that they use. The owner showed me around and how it all worked.

That's why I thought $160 was a steal.

 

From what I was told, it's a $100,000 machine. And your average shop will not have that sort of equipement.

 

Depends on the shop, most exhaust shops around here have them, especially the chain stores

 

i cant see the pictures at work. but tanabe is a good brand and bigger mandrel piping is always better.

 

Damn, lucky. When I was in SoCal, it took my a good while to find a shop with one. It was a big machine too.

 

There's a shop 10 mins from where i'm at that does everything muffler-related. I got my headers cut, repositioned, rewelded and added a small tubing section for $35... cheap as f*ck for the quality job.

 

dude re-piping is mucho expensivo, $35 is for 12" of piping. i need the whole damn thing repiped son.

And yes $160 for tanabe is a damn good deal, why did it have to look so nasty!

 

yea dude i just got home and see the picture thats a nasty muffler. alot of knock off versions of that muffler too. but $160 is a good deal. worst comes to worse you can buy it and sell it for more or something.

 

Ebizzle or some tuner forum, and get yourself a better set

 

im thinking, just wait around for smoething else.. Or maybe i can buy a Ebay cat back then weld my magnamuff onto that?
