Need new exhaust and in these trying times price is important. But I don't want to be penny wise and pound foolish. Do Ijust say screw t and go Tanabe? My thought is Tsudo exhaust, RV6 jpipe/test tube. Thoughts?

atlp and xlr8 are the only ones that are worth it unless you go custom

I went with Tanabe. You get what you pay for.

You spelled psuedo wrong.

Don't skimp out on an exhaust.

I hate cars

If we're talking about a cat back there isn't a real difference in power. So sound and material should be the only criteria.. In So Cal I would have no problem going with the cheaper non stainless exhaust as long as its mandrel bent.

Personally I don't get why anyone would pay the asking prices for these exhausts. Custom is half to a third of the price and you can make it sound anyway you want.

thats a good point but i suck balls at welding and yet to see a shop to a CLEAN job. no one takes the time to make it look nice. i know its not that important but if u go to sell it, its better than chunks of metal everywhere

Haha, I am a big fan of the GReddy EVO2, but not very many people like the sound. It prolly is a young thing lol.

You make the drive out to CA and I'll build you a clean one

You could just pick up some mandrels and straights from dynomax. Cut and mark everything and bring to a welder. Before I got comfortable and good enough to do my own welding, I found a guy in my town who was an industrial welder and he did all of it on the side. Pretty cheap and fantastic welds.

Paint it up with some Hi temp ceramic paint for corrosion resistance. You can cure the paint by installing and running the engine.
