What if you just removed the muffer, replace it with straight pipe, leave the the resonator... Would it not flow better, cheap to do? With the price of CAT systems lately, $1K WOW! and some cheaper.. ! ?? .. What do you think?

 

yeh it would be cheap. did you mean "cat-back" systems? there expensive because of the quality and warranty. they also have mandrel bends.

 

So far nobody is really seeing any gains from changing the stock exhaust setup. Just changes the sound. It takes headers to really make any real difference. Save your cash for other mods in my opinion.

 

If you cant afford aftermarket exhaust, maybe you shouldnt be putting one on...
