hey guys, i'm thinking of getting a cat back either custom (pipes muffler all seperate from a shop)
or buying a finished system...
now I know it's all diff on all cars but maybe people who have heard the difference can help...
I want a deep sound and not too loud where the cops are following me lol... no rasp
so what I was thinking was
pipes are 2.25
either
Borla Rear Exit Cat-Back System with Single Rolled Angle-Tip SKU# BOR14981 with a 30 inch resonator
or
Magnaflow cat back with a 30 inch resonator
i'm guessing obviousllly the Borla would sound deeper and more to my likeing, but has anyone heard them both?

I've heard borla's on other cars, and their systems tend to be loud and raspy. I would check out Dynomax Super Turbos.. they have a mellow sound while cruising, but louder when into it.
honestly your best bet is going to be custom, order some pieces of pipe. get it welded. i got full turbo back exhaust done for $638.43 thats all the bends, and welds and labor. look into it, then you pick the muffler and resonator and what ever else you want. i recommend custom.
I already looked into a custom it would be 450 for 2.25 pipes magnaflow muffler but I have to get a 30 inche resonator as well so it might be about 480 ish
I just don't know about the sound... I know what sound I want, it's just getting the sound is the hard part

Here is a link to my custom setup. The video is on the page, just scroll down a bit. Mind u, this is a video of it on its previous car with its previous owner. It seemed louder on his Eco then on my LN2. Not sure of that but ya, check it out, not sure if it is what you want.

i forgot to mention that is tame when cruising, has little rasp and DOES NOT DRONE. I have an in car vid if you want one.
I was going to buy his last year and he kept saying to meet up but he never met up with me

really? Dave you mean? I emailed him twice, set a date, phoned his cell to confirm and then got it all. Twas a good buy. Needs a lil adjusting as the muffler is loose and the resonator weighs a bit so it hangs a lil low so im gonna put on an extra hanger of it.
yeah i'm pretty sure.... it was him I could be wrong it was last year lol
