i have a 97 cobra bone stock except for a CAI. I was wondering if an exhaust mod would help the car any at all. If so have any of you had any experience with the mac catback? I am skeptical of their so called "adjustable stainless tips". Should i go with a catback or just weld in some mufflers? By the way is the pipe size 2 1/4 or 2.5.

thanks guys and sorry i am boring you with a question on an exhaust mod. It just that where I live I have to be very careful to not be too loud. I got a ticket once with a 96 v6 which had mac flowpath mufflers, troopers are badddddd here.

I think legally once a car has so many miles the convertors could fail, and if that might be the case, you could get some h pipe with hi flow convertors on it, and a cat back. You should notice some increase in power. I skipped the convertors, and just pay attention for the cops. I don't see how harleys get away with their exhaust, and we cant. good luck, gears would definately wake up your car.
