Catback Advice

[papasapusc]

I have been looking into exhausts for my car because it just broke right before the muffler, and now I want a full catback. I want to try to keep my car looking stock, but every exhaust that I see is either not made for the GSX or is a single 3"-4" tip, which I don't want. Do you have any suggestions for me. I am also trying to keep the car quiet, though I realize that the less bend the more power, the louder it is, but I'm trying to find a happy medium, a silencer would even be an option. If anyone could help me out it would be great. Thank you in advance.

Though about a magnaflow option? I know they offer a dual tip option if that's really what you're looking for.

www.dejontool.com

I know they have different exhaust options there, might want to take a look.

What i did was order the dejon exhaust piping (though i got it right when he first made them) and then dropped on a magnaflow 3" in dual 2.5" out and picked up tips. Looks totally stock, sounds WAAAY quieter than a big farty tip and i don't get unwanted attention from cops. I can get the part #'s if you want.


Here's the links,

Good luck man!

The best thing to do is look around for a universal muffler with dual tips and paint it flat black with some hi-temp paint. There are several people on this forum that have done this.

i'd actually like those part #'s a lot... how's the clearance with that muffler? I'm lowered 2" and often scrapes with the stock exhaust, but i think my stock hangers (100,xxxmi) are drooping too. but tha'd be cool if it's not too much trouble.

 

[staticbrainwash]

Depends on how low your exhaust hangs really. Mine is a little lower than stock because of the piping, but it's not a bad fit. I can look if i have some pics. . .

Actually, here's a vid.

Was a half warm start, so i didn't rev too much.

You can get that muffler in SS too in a few canister sizes if you just look around a bit. But summit is the best prices i've found so far.

Sounds very nice, I like it.

To the original poster, about the only exhausts you'll find that look decent [or stock] on a budget are going to be custom-built. Of course, the Dejon exhaust is a great choice as well, not sure if you could snag just the piping from them though.

 

[staticbrainwash]

I'm pretty sure you can. I know a buddy of mine with a 1gb snagged just the piping and put on his own muffler, much like i did.

 

[Gregory]

that sounds good man. was that from summit?

 

[papasapusc]

My brother told me that custom built was a good way to go, but I'm gonna look more into the dejon piping and see if i can get the piping and do the Magnaflow muffler. If that video was the muffler from summit then that sounds really good.

Yup, thats my exhaust. Dejon piping with that same magnaflow muffler. I love the sound, and with the tips, it looks totally stock. . . well, not totally!

Here's a better view of the tips for ya.

HKS used to make a dual tip catback in the 2.5". You could always get this and match a downpipe and cat to this. I had this exhaust when I first bought my talon in 1998. Its quiet enough but looked stock as well. Im actually selling it since I bought a new one. I don't know if they make it anymore...

 

[papasapusc]

No they do not make it anymore. It is the HKS Turbo Catback Exhaust, that is what I was looking at, and I ordered one two weeks ago and they said that HKS just discontinued it.

I know what you're talking about, i believe it was called the HKS Turbo. Not positive though.

 

[papasapusc]

I just sent them and e-mail last night, to see if the dejon exhaust system will fit my set up, and depending on the reply, I will let you know if I get it or not.

You can't go wrong with Magnaflow. Great sound! I just got the race series 3 inch in 4 inch out in last week and hopefully putting it on soon just waiting for my Megan down pipe to come in...Go Magnaflow you'll love it.

 

[papasapusc]

I just ordered the Dejon tool Exhaust Pipe Kit from Dejon, along with the bullet muffler under the car to make it quieter. I also ordered the Magnaflow XL 4 X 9 muffler. The whole package cost me about $300, which I don't think is too bad. I'm off to N.C. in the morning, so I hope that my goodies will be here when I get back. I will let you know how it looks and sounds (if someone knows how to upload sound/video).

Hey guys, I got my parts a few weeks ago, but ran into financial issues so I just brought my car in yesterday to get the exhuast on. I got it back today and I'm pretty satisfied. It could be a little quieter, but it is a 3" so I expect it to be pretty loud. The Dejontool pipes set the muffler on a bit of an angle, so when I get my tips I'm gonna try to bend them so it comes out straight. If you want to hear it, go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6I9Df-SEpAI. Hope you enjoy, and let me know what you think. Thank you to everyone who helped me find this exhaust combo.
