ok well im planing to get a new exsuast sytem in the spring but I figured id get some ideas going be fore hand. i am considering the 2 options

option 1:MSDS Headers & y-pipe,high flowing universal magnaflow cat 3",and universal 3" borla mufflers with 4" Borla tips.
problem with this is, is the price and I hav no idea how it would sound? im looking for a deep loud sound. no rice

option 2:MSDS Headers & Y-pipe,high flowing universal magnaflow cat 2 1/2",and the borla cat back?
problem with this is I cant seem to find the Borla cat back any where at all since they discontued it!! and also im looking for a 3" setup becuase keep in mind in the futre im planing on a TURBO.

so give me your oppinons

thanks
 
its hard to get the true loud deep sound because our motor has a tendency to produce alot of rasp. Honestly option 1 IMO seems the way to go..


I have the option 2, with the WR headers/y-pipe and the 2.5" Magnaflow cat with the 2.25" Borla cat-back...There is ALOT of deepness inside when you are driving, all my friends and I love it, its a very clean sound
 
yes im pretty certain im going to go with option 1 but is going to be a little $$$$

headers & y-pipe $650ish
magnaflow cat $125
both borla mufflers $250 a peice
Borla tips $70 a peice
instaltion and harware/3"piping im guessing $3-400
around $1800 dollars

Why bother doing Headers/Y-pipe now if your planning on doing a turbo.. Save up and do it all at once and dont waste your money.

he means why spend the $600 on msds headers if you just plan to turbo the car in the future, you will not be able to use the headers/ y-pipe because you need custom ones for a turbo ... so why waste the money, just save for the tubro ...

Wow.. i seriously hope he was kidding if he didnt know that..

Save the 1000 dollars and get your turbo and wastegate.
 
You can still use them if you're going custom, thats what we're doing. Where in Westminster are you at? We're in the same are and I haven't seen you around?
 
just get a trubendz piping kit (2.5" if your staying N/A, 3" if your going F/I) they are like 275$ then you can put your own res/muff/tips of your choice on. i have gutted precats, optimized y pipe, and the 2.5" unres. magnaflow muffler trubendz exhaust and it sounds nice. i have no cat which makes it sound deep, but you will never get a v8 sound out of these engines. soon i will have aftermarket headers and y pipe, until then the gutted stuff will have to work.
