Going to be needing a new catback. Suggestions?

[JFrye]

I would be interested in pics and a possible video/sound clip if possible. I am needing to get a catback(as everyone calls them) system seeing as how my fswerks header and straight pipe are driving me nuts.

I just took it on its first trip. The only time it got a little annoying was at 65mph, where it was a little loud. Otherwise, cruising at 55mph and even 60mph was very pleasant. I could barely hear the exhaust at 55mph. I'll see when I can get pics and possibly a video up. It's a busy time of year though.

I understand man.

A nice flex-back system will sound real good with that header, I miss her already... Glad to see it go to someone who'll use the hell out of it though!

There's a guy on Craigslist here in STL that has a whole system (flexback, stainless) for less than 200 bucks.

Get the fwerk's stealth. Fwerks also has different sound clips.

If you could get the MBRP still I would go with that. But I am with felix on this and will/would go with the Fwerks stealth! I have a header/flex with the MBRP and it sounds great never raspy and at idle can not tell its running. Highway above 65mph it is kinda loud though ( I just turn the radio up lol)

Im actually getting a custom cat back setup put on at the exhaust shop on Saturday. 2.5 inch pipe back to a muffler (header wrapped beside fuel tank) and 3 inch from the muffler to the back bumper. I will be using a Magnaflow knock off style muffler. I hope it comes out sounding good.

Why not use 3'' from the flex? As the exhaust is the hottest at that point compared to the after the muffler. Or just use 3'' thru out then.

Here are the promised pics from the BBP installation.

This is the Pilot exhaust tip I replaced the ridiculous stock tip with.

Had to cut the pipe here.

hmmm I dunno that exhaust looks pretty tiny are you 100% sure it's a 2 1/4" cause sitting next to the stock 1 7/8" exhaust it doesn't look much bigger, I suspect it's really a 2" exhaust. Other than questioning the size though it looks pretty decent. How's it sound?
