look at mandrelbent systems. they make catback with your choice of magnaflow or borla. and there pretty cheap and good products. im ordering the borla when i get done with the SC build.

true mandrel does offer resonator add ons...but be sure you know how loud your car is going to be. i was hella mad when i had a new resonator put on and my car was still loud as ****. i'm think about getting a Vibrant performance ultra quiet one for the time being. I've heard hella good things about that company.

I got one from the mandrel exhausts without a resonator, and I dont think it is that loud at all. But if you plan on putting a header and downpipe on the car, then you will definitely want to get a resonator with it

I got the megan racing cat-back & I ride with the silencer in during the week to & fro work, but every friday I pull it out & let her loose. Neighbors hate me too, I always give it a full rev 6500 scream in the driveway to kick off the weekend.

I was kidding lol, but yea it would be loud as ****. 2.2's sound nice though, they dont have that raspy sound the SS/SC does (no offense guys, but it does out of all the model cobalts) I know a guy who cut a resonator and muffler off but has 2 cats and his sounds loud as hell, but really nice. so you really just need **** to quiet it down but the 2.2 exhaust has a nice note to it

I have a friend of mine that has the megan catback on his...if you like the N1 look go with it...looks like can..but its loud all the time....the opening is 4" at the back...so if you have an LS or LT it doesn't really look the greatest...but...its preference...

Custom in my opinion. Go to your local muffler shop and have it made and welded on.
