Custom Exhaust Coming This Spring
so my aunts ex husband, i still call him my uncle does stainless steel staircases and ****
he has all the stuff to bend and weld all kinds of piping in his pole barn
so im going to order some 304 stainless steel piping and have a custom exhaust made
but i need some pointers:
how long of piping do u think i would need?
could i use the stock hanger bracket things to hang the exhaust, what about stock flange?
what diameter, i drive a 2.2 with a CAI? probably a 20% chance of me going turbo in the future =[ so im guessing 2.25 or 2.5
what muffler and resonator, im going with both....

just yank your stock exhaust out to use as a "template" or model, you can use a cherry bomb glasspack as a resonator, they are cheap, and a generic or universal magnaflow muffler

Go with 2.25 diameter piping, as for muffler it doesn't really matter, just remember straight through will be louder than a baffled one (obviously) so choose wisely there. What are your plans for header/DP?

so im leaning towards 2.25, a universal muffler from a local shop, and not sure about the resonator yet
**** i have a lot of research to do

Loud will get old bro... I had the megan on my car for a few months and got rid of it because it was sooo friggin loud and annoying. It didn't even sound good, not with the stock header and downpipe. I love my stock catback, lol.
