I got a quote to do custom piping for my car. it was from the exhaust manifold to the muffler w/ 2.25" piping and a resonator. the quote was about $600. does that seem right or is that a bad price, because i've seen complete cat back systems for like $500.

It's slow, I know |

I've seen it on a fifth-gen and it looked good -- guy was very happy with it.
However, I'd point out you have just a muffler. The stock system had a muffler, resonator and cat. One comment -- a resonator is not a muffler, despite the way people like to confuse the terms. A resonator is a hollow chamber designed to bounce (resonate) soundwaves so they cancel each other out. A muffler such as has been described by Playr is a straight-through design, but it's a muffler (sound absorbtion) not a resonator. A resonator dings like a bell when tapped, while a muffler makes a dull thud. Our cars came with a resonator. Given you're replacing a baffled but quiet muffler with straight-through design, it'd be a good idea to replace it with something significant. His point about length is an excellent one, however. It won't affect flow but it will smooth out the sound. You'd be looking for an XL Powerpack or a MagnaPack. Hottexhaust and fle-online were very good about finding these parts, which are somewhat rare. |
