Help on Cat back systems...

I am looking for a nice cat back system that will give some (although I know minimal) power gains
and will put out a nice low growl, but not too loud...
Any ideas or suggestions?

no welding is required for ALL catbacks....if there is then that's not a catback system...and i can get you hook ups on Greddy EVO or Skunk2 catbacks...just email me at JBlazeVA@aol.com and we'll go from there....

i been thinking hard about getting the DC Sports TCS, but if Skunk2 gives out that much power, i'm all about that, without the high pitched "sounds like a chainsaw" sound. needing one for an EX sedan though, let us know

<< That's a pretty good price! I currently have the magnaflow and am considering getting rid of it and buying the skunk2. Only thing is, I have a sedan and I think they only make it for the coupe. >>



try PMing teamstylesracing....das my friend Tony and he got the same exact catback system I have on and he owns a sedan.....when me and him went to Skunk2 together, they were like "is that our exhaust on the sedan?"....they were amazed....

DC TCS is good. I have it on my car, love the sound and the gains are not that bad.

i would never NEVER go by what a "SKUNK2 DYNO" says- they claimed taht there h22 cams made 22 hp at the wheels on there dyno- well they ran the stock car, then they installed a cai, header, intake manifold, there cams then they dynoed it-

so basicly by "skunk2" standards- my airfilter gave me about 100 hp to the wheels- on the dyno- actually my air filter got installed with my exaust and 80 shot wet nos kit too, but those upgrades dont count-

I got an OBX-R B3 Bomb exhuast, sounds really nice and I see a difference in power from it!
