    Help with exhaust set up....

    Just wondering what exhaust set up to run other than dropping +$500 on a cat back. I've heard people running custom Borla, Magnaflow, Dynomax, etc... with tips.

        Here, purchase a Borla Turbo XR-1 muffler, there awesome. Its the cheaper alternative to buying a eisnman(or however you spell it). I'll post some sound files on tuesday.

            Eisenmann has more fame than Borla
            you buy just a name stamped on the tips ( look i've spend $800 on my exhaust )

                  LikeCDoos, how's your shadowline holding up? I'm going to do mine when the weather will allow me, you going to lower your car soon?

                    Perhaps in Europe. In the USA, eisenmann exhausts are overpriced and loud iirc.

                    Borla is very reputable here.
                    Below the radar...

                      IE has a near stock sound system, for $390 retail but group buys have gotten the system to $300 ballpark figure.

                      Full stainless good welds and quiet to boot.

                        egk2, Mufflex is one of the best custom exhaust shops I know of, it's in Trenton.......I reccommend them to all my friends and I take all my work there.

                          shadowline is holding up pretty well considering i didn't take it off the car to do it. When it gets real bad i'm going to learn how to take it off the car and re-do it.

                          Yes i have plans this summer to lower it and put rims on it. I've got springs/rims in my garage. I just need tires/shocks now :)
