Cat back exhaust systems

[Civib2]

I am going to buy A cat-back system. I am deciding between the Greddy EVO 2, Greddy SP2, Borla, and Apexi N1. Any comments on these by people who have them? or does anybody know which one is the best for performance.

A friend of mine told me that i should just buy a high flow cat, and a muffler...and take them to a muffler/exhaust shop..and have them do the piping for me...is this a good idea?

Yeah i thought about that to but they dont do mandrual bends or anything so i dont know if it would be worth it.

 

[EclipseSR]

what kind of bends?

 

[Civib2]

mandrual i dont know how to spell it but its what most after market exhaust use vs. when you go to a custom place they bend the pipe and it has those creases in it you know. the mandrual bends dont have creases so it lets the exhaust flow smother.

i have the original greddy evo and its the same as the evo 2 but the whole pipeing isnt stainless but the evo is a good choice if you want to shell out some cash.

Yes, that is what I had done (minus the hi-flow cat). A lot of exhaust shops now have the tools to make a mandrel bent pipe instead of just press bending it.

The only thing I would suggest is having a resonator installed because my car is unbarebly loud.

Here's a shot of it if you care:

That's how mine is, too loud for my personal tastes. I might end up getting a resonator installed in the very near future.
