[s-cars] recommendation and source for cat back exhaust system

[chris chambers]

Konstantine,

I'm in Kalamazoo, Michigan and travel to Toledo, Ohio often; where are you at?
I have a complete stock exhaust system, if you are close and need it let me 
know.

Are you attending S-fest, small chance I could drag it there.

Otherwise I could cut off a section for you to use if you need it.

Chris

Konstantine,

Those flanges were really punky on my car too. I wound up building them back up 
with a mig welder, then grinding them back into the correct shape. It was a 
bunch of work, but the result was good, and I saved hundreds of dollars. I'm 
sure an exhaust shop could do something cheaper, perhaps by modifying some off 
the shelf flanges.  As for the welding at the mid muffler, that might be fixable 
by welding, perhaps not.

Chris, I am fine with stock exhaust but flanges on catback side ( at converter ) 
are rotten as well as the welding where pipe joins mid muffler(rear end). Is it 
something which can be fixed for another year or three? Or has to be replaced? I 
looked at the Stromung site - don't see cat-backs, only turbo-backs. Also, only 
3'' are available. Does it mean I have to change converters?
