Hi gang,
Asked last week if anyone had any experience with the Stebro exhaust vs a
custom made one. Got a few responses and decided to check out a custom
exhaust at a local mideke shop. He quoted me a price of about 500$ with the
ability to play with different mufflers to see which i liked best. I like
that, so now i just want to find a better source for the hi-flow cat and
possibly the mufflers. Anyone have any particular brands they have good
experience with and a source that would be cheaper than going through
Mideke? I know Scott J mentioned Walker and Bora, as i have never done this
before, i have no idea whats a good muffler and whats not. The end result I
am looking for would be increased flow without gaining too much noise if
thats possible. I know its a trade off, but i certainly dont want to sound
like ricer and someone posted about the stebro on their car and how loud it
was. As my car is a daily driver, i dont want to deafen myself or my
passengers and dont want to wake the neighborhood everytime i start the car
in the morning either. Any info towards whats good and whats not good would
be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Rob
