    Trying to decide on a good exhaust this time instead of getting a custom exhaust that i redid twice and paid over 200 each time. I need a idea on which cat back i should get. I already have headers, smaller pulleys, and supporting mods.

    I want to get a more expensive catback so it will sound 10x better, and get better flow. My first catback i got when it was stock was 2.5 inch straight pipes that didnt sound very nice. then after i did all my mods the shop put together some crap my friend talked me into getting even want. Which i had a res and muffles. But when i went to the track my y pipe popped off so i have to cut that into pieces so i could get it into the car. And ive been running open headers for a few days now till i get my engine rebuilt.

    So now im looking around at catbacks and zzp has a nice stainless steel 3 inch with magnaflow mufflers on it. Or i could get the slp but its only a 2.5. Need some opinions on what i should get before dropping like 700 on a catback.

    The universal borla mufflers are +200 per muffler and it would cost around 300 for someone to make me a 2.5 or a 3inch catback. And the shops dont do stainless steel. But if i get it from zzp it would be the same price but for a stainless steel catback

    Catbacks are worthless really.

    Said setup for 400HP?

    Just get a Dynomax Stainless Steel catback...pretty sure they are cheap.

    Dynomax isn't stainless, its mild steel.
