What do you guys think about getting a custom 2.5 cat-back muffler made instaead of buyign a bolt on system and would it be the same in terms of performance? What kind of price difference are we talking about?

 

plenty of people have it...i have custom 2.5" piping from the cat to the stock mufflers...cost me 150

 

Did you notice a difference in sound and performance and was it worth it?

 

i bought two universal magnaflow mufflers, a dynamax 18" resonator, and had a shop run 2.5 inch piping to a magnaflow y-pipe then to my mufflers. Ran me about 500 for everything including install. Sound wise it is awesome, but mine may be a bit loud for some peoples taste. Performance wise you won't gain much, maybe 2-5hp depending if you have a type S or base model. Mine was definately worth it since i love the sound and looks.

 

I have the type S. So that`s what I`ll do then. I`ll have the recommend to me which is better. Then later on I will install the comptech headers with downpipe.

 

yea its all for sound...no gains after the cat...i like it tho, sounds like a g35 a lil bit

 

yes i did the same exact thing i love it. you cant beat it for the price neither. it does remind me of a g35. n the sound it makes wen the engine winds down in 2nd is awesome!!!!!!!

 

I have thought about making a Borla setup but I'm afriad it would be too loud...

 

i have an apexi ws2.
bolted right up.
sounds great.
not a bad price either.
it is mandrel bent.
i doubt you'll even find a shop that will mandrel bend your custom piping for a reasonable price.
