Cheap catback
 
Anyone using this one?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...FP%3AUS%3A1123

Or better yet, got any recommendations for something better but just as cheap? :giggle: My cat is gutted and I plan on keeping that midpipe for now. Just looking for a catback or new muffler.

I'm using this on my 94. I bought it from the same seller. I just noticed that they changed the price. I paid $102 shipped for mine around X-mas time. I was very disappointed to find that the tip on it looks NOTHING like the one in the picture. It is a 4" tip that looks like a coffee can. I cut it off and welded on this Magnaflow tip.

I took 2.25" pipe from an aftermarket Magnaflow converter back to this muffler and eliminated the resonator. It sounds great. Mine is NA and soon to get a JRSC, so you will be quieter with a turbo. It doesn't sound as nice as the Borla that I had on my 90 years ago, but for what I paid, it's a nice muffler. If you like the fart can look, you'll like the tip that comes on it. If not, you'll have to replace the tip.

I did my own however its not 90 bucks since i ended up doing cat+resonator+muffler. That exhaust you found is probably 2.25" all the way with a big tip... shinny but waste of money when it comes to performance.

Also you notice it says catback on the left of the image yet in the print above the pic it says axle back?

That is true. I wonder also if "muffler not hit subframe". :laugh:

Without a turbo, I totally agree. But with the turbo quieting things down, I think this would have a nice growl. I can't even hear my current OBX exhaust because my turbo quiet's it down so much.

If you have a welder and a sawzall you can make a full 3" at about $60.

I was running a 12" borla on mine... lets just say it was loud... as in you'll get stopped by the police loud. I could only imagine what a muffler half the size would sound like. I'm turboed also.
