I asked what kind of piping they use for the cat-back at the place that was $130 they said they only do aluminized piping. will that rust? and if so how long does it take before it does rust. (i have snowy winters!) (and hot summers)

so i finally bought it My exhaust i got it for $131.33 and free shipping from Hott Exhaust what do you guys think of it. anybody heard it on a celi?

I cant wait for it to get here i hope it comes by friday but it might get here next monday

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.

Dam the Price in the U.S is cheep.....

I had the turbo dump pipe, high flow cat, 2.5" mandrel pipe and twin HKS cannons all custom made for $1400(AU$).....

jezus man. I paid $450 CND for 2.5 inch mandrel bent from the flex pipe back in full stainless, preformance stainless resignator with me providing the muffler. My supra's exhaust was stupidly expensive. I paid $560 for steel(not even stainless) and just cut and welded pipes(no bends) with a crappy dyno max muffler and a magnaflow tip.
