Thank you

your pics look to be stock...mayb you just have a tip ?

my bad for the word .... anyways stock eh?? hmmmm so if i was to get an exhaust set up wouuld i need to get a header..or new exhaust manifold
?????

im pretty sure its not completely stock i looked online and the stockphotos look different so im jus curious about if it is good or not

You guys are funny.

Its not stock man, you have what looks to be a 14"-16" glasspack in place of the stock resonator.

And you have a 12" glasspack in place of the lunchbox muffler.

Its not stock, how does it sound....I have a 12" glasspack in place of my stock resonator, with just 2.25" piping to a tip. Mine is loud, but deep especially after Wayne's tune.

Thinking about adding another glasspack to tone it down a bit....like yours.

cool ya i like the sound its like not too loud( i hate the ones that sound like someone is taking a dremmel to a tin can) but it does have deep tone...im still curious about the intake so ill take a pic and post it up tonight ......thanks for giving me the answer EASYRIDER

No problem, I may go install a second one to tone mine down Sat. morning (It got really loud at cold start with my mods)

........they are straight-thru mufflers so it shouldn't affect performance at all.........and should only cost about 40.00 to get welded on.

is it a performance exhaust?

this is my intake ....itlooks like an autozone piece but i may be mistaken

your intake looks like an ebay special. As for your exhaust, you dont need a header. a catback kit will bolt right in with your factory manifold and catalitic converter. But that is definitly not a stock resinator. I agree with easyrider in saying that it looks like a glasspack

It looks like you have 2.25" from the first glasspack on back. Which is not as "performance" as having 2.25" or 2.5" from the second cat on back.......its a lot better than stock seeing as they are straight thru and increases your exhaust velocity and eliminates backpressure.......(which has many theories on that in itself)

So, the proper term to use, is "I have a custom exhaust setup". Buts its similar to the more expensive exhausts that uses the same components i.e. mbrp, trubenz and some sponsered companies linked above.

If you live in a spot where it snows, you might need to switch to stainless steel soon. Wait you live in Cali......no snow. and you can't get an exaust that isn't carb legal.

Leave it the way it is, but please post a vid of how low it sounds with 2 glasspacks please.[thumb]

I's just a "muffler shop special" exhaust, really. Looks like something welded into the stock pipes; you would get better gains from a mandrel bent catback system, but it will be negligible if you're keeping the stock header/cat and flex. If it souds good, and you're not doing anything else to the exhaust, don't waste more money on a full catback system.

i would like to take it to an scca event sumtime jus for fun and i want a "little" oomph but im not going to spend te mooney to make it a 10 sec car or anyting....but anyways ow muc does a cat back run???? ....o and will te intake be cool enoug for my needs???? im jus going to make it so that it as enough power to actually put aup a fight against a few cars and also look good but not too outrageous...you know what i mean??

I just have a cold air intake, 2.25" muffler shop special, and waynes tune.....and I do pretty well against non modded cars and your everyday broke ricer.

hmmm how muchis a tune ???? and were do i get one....im assumming jus try to find a tune shop????
