Ok I cannot afford a catback system right now. I want to just replace the mufflers only. I know Im much noting much if any hp by doin this but I want my car to be louder. Iplan on using the stock GT exhuast. Can anyone reccomend any mufflers mainly the size ie 2 1/4" offsest inlet outlet..case size etc...I figure for $100 I can get two mufflers and install it myself at work....being a single dad I really cant spare the extra $150 or so for a cat back...
 
You can get a couple of flowmaster, or some aluminized Magnaflows for like 100-130 or something like that, or if you go to the corral.net classifieds you might find some used ones for cheap, also get 2 1/2" and just reduce them so you can upgrade the rest of the exhaust with the same mufflers later.
 
There isn't really aneed to increas the diameter of the tubing in your cat-back - stock is stainless already so you're ahead of the game if you just want to go with mufflers. The stock diameter is 2.25".
 
If your running the stock H with the cats just delete the mufflers all together.....car sounds awesome at idle and great under load........I ran it like that until I decided to mod it.......loved the sound....and :nice: on the single dad:nice:

Yea, I ran mine like that with pipe coming out the side, then with turndowns. I liked the side pipes better.

i have a clip if anyone wants to hear it.
 
Leave stock mufflers on and get some offroad mid pipe , changing mufflers alone will give you a little more loudness but mid pipe is whole different story.
 
throw up the clip Eric...I want to remember how it sounded....Im deaf now..

Keep in mind this is BEFORE the O/R H-pipe. lol

QFT. The biggest difference for me came from my O/R H-Pipe, and they can be had for around $150. Or you could pay a muffler shop to just cut your cats of and replace it with pipe.

Yea when I installed "catback" haha on it was little bit louder but after offroad H WOW that is all I got to say . Except this: don't cut factory H pipe cause you may need it for inspection.
ps: getting them posts green hah? ahahha it's 2000+ already :fuss: :chair: :nice:
