So, I live in tiny Syracuse, IN. This place has a population of about 5k.

I just found a place in a rundown little shack that has a mandrel machine.

I'm going to have him bend me an exhaust system. So what size is best for an NA 2.0 with just bolt on's? I thought it was 2.25. Also, what is a good muffler to buy that's not too loud or ricey? Thanks!

Can you please find out the pricing? I'm looking to get 2.5".

TIA!!

Yeah,

I'll let you know what he quotes me. Today is Saturday, and it doesnt look like he's open. I'll try again on Monday.

By the way, I'm going with the 2.25 pipes. Do I also need a resonator? Who makes the best? I like it quiet.

Also, should I also have him make me a test pipe while im in?

Thanks

Get a descent glasspack. No need for a test pipe - use the money for a high flow cat.

I would go with a long and quailty glass pack resonator. I dropped $100 on my Borla muffler and love it! Have him make it as a Cat back. The gains of dropping the cat won't be enough to make up for the good a cat does.
