Someone just posted that they were selling their exhaust. You might want to check it out. KRD and OBX are some companys that make 2.5 mandrel bent exhaust but if you want the best, look into the new Apexi exhaust.

I say go custom if you don't want any buzz or anything. Get a flowmaster or magnaflow muffler and put it together at the muffler shop.

Check on what Cyber said, also Motoria cat backs are now back in stock at ImportShark.com Check them out I think it's 2.25" though.

Speed-Factor is also making custom exhaust as well. Post in his forum or PM him.

I just got the ARK catback and the sound is great! Not too loud, but a nice tone, no buzz/fart.

Here's a link to the full thread with sound clips before and after the catback install:

I just got done with installing my Motoria catback, an hour, it sounds great i my opinion which is really low when reved it sounds almost the same as just a CAI.
I had to drill out the holes in the flage to fit it but that was only problem, more power from CAI i guess i need headers too for full effect laugh.gif

I bet you with headers it will sound buzzy smile.gif Sounds good now, but almost the same as motoria for more money.

Does Motoria do a full cat back? All I ever saw was a rear section.

The ARK has a nice big resonator which hopefully would keep a set of headers in check.
