<![CDATA[exhaust system prices]]>Hey, i didnt know where to post this so i just decided to post it here. I just got my magnaflow oval muffler and catalitic converter yesterday, and im going to get a 2.25 custom cat back made. I was told by a lot of people on the site that straight line specialties would be the best place to get it done, and i was just wondering what the prices would be like. My car is a 1997 Z24 cavalier if that matters. well, thanks a lot.

That's an interesting coincidence.

Should be a pretty good system i think with my magnaflow muffler and converter.

why would he waste that money tho. He doesnt need high flowing exhaust. hes stock.

I'm still stock also except for the air filter/adapter under the hood. You gotta start somewhere. So let me get this right, You need some major shit done to your car now to have exhaust done for it to be justifiable? Oh shit then Tufte I need to turbo my car NOW!!!!!

I certainly didn't loose any power by doing so. If you cant afford it right now, then hold off on doing it untill you can. I know how it is to want to get it done especially with the parts right in front of you, but I also firmly believe in doing it right the FIRST time. Don't mess aroud with pressbent pipe. Alot of times, the actual pipe diameter is down too well under 2" inside diameter when the bends are made and your exhaust only flows as well as the smallest piece will allow.

2.4l 4 Cyl...

You still have a cat, the backpressure is still there... 2.5inch vs. 2.25...

I highly highly doubt your going to loose any power from having larger exhaust, more likely it will just be more high flowing.

Here's the thing though, your not talking about freeing up much hp either way from bolting on exhaust... so whatever you do you prob wont notice a huge difference. If your looking to do it cheap, just visit somebody like muffler man and have them press bend them as it prob wont even make a huge difference anyway

I really want my car to have a mandrel bent system, but on cavalier forums everyone says that 2.5 inch piping is too big unless your going with forced induction, and i dont have plans for forced induction any time soon nor do i have the money.

SLS could certainly do it for you, Type-R could as well. SLS would probably be able to get you in quicker, but Type-R might be cheaper.
