Ok - here goes:
I am looking to get my exhaust fixed. It is way too loud and would probablly get pulled over just for driving it around (no cats or resonator, plus larger headers).
First of all, I live in PA so anyone close to here who can do custom exhaustwork let me know!
But, I took it to meineke, and they want 500-600 just to put a custom pipe from where the resonator usually is back, plus 2 mufflers. I think that this is a little pricey!
All I was looking for is a pipe probablly 3" (to go around the gas tank) and back out with 2 mufflers. Right now in place of my resonator is a Y pipe that goes to 3" but then it has a reducer that puts it back to 2 1/2" from the reducer back. It is REALLY rusted out (thanks flowmaster) so I wanted all new exhaust from there. Any options and thoughts would be greatly appriciated! I didn't want to spend $600 at a shop for ? quality work, when I am sure guys have gotten their exhaust done here (and better work) for less.
As far as pre-fab (dynomax, etc.) systems, I hear they aren't as good (steal being thinner). This guy at Meineke said he has been doing exhaust for 15+ years and Borla mufflers dont last for the price (I was thinking of getting a pair of the borla XS). I dont care anymore! I just want my car to sound decent for a reasonable price. If I got a resonator put back on the car, the Y pipe would have to be removed, and there would be much more custom work involved. is there any company who makes a 3" pipe for around the gas tank, and then either compatible system for that? Thanks for all your time!
