Want to do custom Exhaust, but need help
Ok i am going to do a custom cat back exhaust when i get my headers. My question is, do i go with 2.5 inch piping or 3 inch piping. Will i loose lots of torque with the three inch piping? I realy want to loose as little torque as possible while gaining some horses up high. Would you guys reccomend i go with a Borla exhaust, or will that be too loud? I know how the HKS sounds and the comptech and i love the HKS, so that is an option too. Another question is, for the ammount of money that i will be spending on this custom setup, is it worth it? What can i gain from going cat back versus just mufflers. I know mufflers will net like 2 horses and sound, but i want some real gains if i will be paying the money already. If i do a full cat back i was quoted at 750 for 2 Borla Pro XS mufflers, 2.5 or 3 inch piping all the work and whatever tips i want on them. Or i can just get the HKS for 475 plus shipping. I dont mind spending the extra money. I rather go with HKS and a cat back setup, but i want to know if i will feel the difference. Thanks and sorry for such a long post.

The stock exhaust is pretty efficient, so I doubt you'll realize big gains regardless of the system you chose. Customizing your ride is another story and completely your call. If you want to spend the $$ for Borla, go ahead. It is high quality stuff. I went with Magnaflow and like the sound although it is louder than the Comptech set up. On the other hand, They were $340 installed which freed up $ for other stuff. Headers are the ticket if you really want to see gains. Bottom line is whatever turns your crank, do it.

Bro, where were you today? I called your cell but no one picked up. I called you to go to the mini-meet to install my 6000k HIDs. Oh well, it was fun. Check it out:

BTW, let me know what's up with the exhausts. I want a catback too but hopefully it won't be that expensive.
