Im looking to build me own catback system. Minus the gato. Ive been lookin around and see that its feesable with some mandrel bent tubing and lots of good welding. Can anyone give me tips on what diameter tubing to buy or anything else, like a really solid, not farty, not too loud but a little raspy, muffler? Also, when welding, what about the flanges, connecting to the headers from the pipe, do those need to be customized or retrofitted somehow? thanks

Yes, he is the exhaust king.
 If you can afford it, get stainless. Its worthwhile. Check out www.burnsstainless.com for tubing, connectors, etc. They're kinda pricey but they're prompt and have high quality products. Have you ever welded before? I've had the best luck welding stainless with a tig welder. Aluminized steel can be welded with a tig or mig. Magnaflow mufflers are the best I've found. They sound really good (deep and powerful sounding, not raspy), they're failrly cheap, and they're really well made. I would suggest 2.25 or 2.5 for NA celicas and 2.5-3 diameter for turbo celica. I'm in the process of building a complete 3" stainless exhaust and DP for my celica, but its probably still a month off. I'll post pics when its done. |
