Can't see that pic for some reason.

Knows only a r3d of the battery tie down is red..

 

[EDM95]

That's how I want it too look, we can't have to much red.

 

[Dhan]

Should tell EDM that my work computer blocks things that it doesn't feel I need to see

Knows a talon gettting rearended is not cool..

 

[Dhan]

Should know I think it's a Laser with a Talon bumper

He hated the Laser bumper kit as much as I do

 

[Bud92gsx]

Knows those appear to be talon tails as well..

 

[Dhan]

Should know I think he did the whole thing, lights included, or maybe it was the PO. Then again, I could be completely wrong.

Maybe it's a Talon with a swapped front, because the front is a Laser. I don't know, I can't remember

Tragedy none the less. He's got good sources though, it'll be fixed soon.

Should tell me how much i should pay for a used 2g awd exhaust... cat back and turbo back... witch one is better?? i think i wanna keep a cat.

Should also tell me why I'm such a noob. :/

 

[Dhan]

Should know a cat back is from the catalytic to the muffler. A turbo back generally is the down pipe that comes off the exhaust manifold, eliminates the catalytic, and goes straight to the muffler.

To keep the car street legal and pass emissions, you'll need the cat. I ditched the cat on my n/t because I use it for rallyx and it's not driven on the street much. Maybe to like 7-11 or the car wash.

Exactly what do you plan on doing with the car? Tell us your plans, and we'll offer better advice for the exhaust.

 

[carfree123]

Should know i thought you could buy a turbo back that includes a high pass cat.... or uses the stock one... But I'm probably wrong.

 

[Dhan]

Should know you can still keep your cat, it's just that a number of turbo backs eliminate the cat.

 

[carfree123]

Should tell me how much i should pay for a stainless steel one... 2.5in... i don't wanna go 3in... my car is almost stock.

 

[Dhan]

Should know you could probably spend almost $800 on a good exhaust. You're paying a lot for their R&D, a little for the materials, and quite a bit for their marketing.

Smaller companies will often have the same product made of the same material for a bit cheaper. I would shoot for $300-$400 for a quality system that won't rust out or heat wash after a few years. You can find decent used ones for much less.
Ebay exhausts are kind of a gamble. You hear of some lasting a long time and others wasting away in just a year. Can't beat the price though.

And if you want just a little more "omph" and aren't planning on a fire breather above 450bhp, 2.5" will work fine.

 

[carfree123]

Should know I'm interested in used prices. The piggy bank isn't too full if you know what i mean.

 

[Dhan]

Should check the classifieds on here often. Here's two, they won't work for your application, but just to give you an idea. Deals are out there, you've got to be Johnny on the spot though to nab them. Craigslist can sometimes have good deals, especially people that are parting out their cars.
Just never pay top dollar for used exhaust parts, obviously
