Anyone have a pic of a Motoria Catback installed? If so, Post up....Does the muffler come angled? I'm thinking about buying one of these. That's a real good price on importshark.

It was pretty much bolt on. I think I had to have another o2 bung welded on after the second (now my primary) cat. And it was bumping up against the floor (i think) so we put in a small square of hi temp rubber to keep it from banging.I have pics, but they don't really show you anything. The only thing that I would have changed for my car is to have a section exteded a bit because with my bodykit the exhaust doesn't stick out v ery far from the bumper. So the kit gets dirtier quicker from the exhaust gases.
This exhaust is relatively loud, but it's a good deep loud!

Here are some pics of the Motoria (and the rest of my setup)...
Muffler
Over-Axle pipe
Midpipe-Axlepipe connection
Midpipe & Resonator
Midpipe-Cat connection
Header-Flexpipe connection
XSP headers
No, the muffler isn't angled. No, it's not a direct bolt-on; you will need to have it adjusted. You may have to cut the midpipe to fit to an aftermarket header/flex/cat combo, and you will most likely have to adjust the muffler hangers to keep the over-axle pipe from contacting anything and rattling like crazy.

Mine didn't require any welding other than the o2 bung. When I bought it it said that I would most likely have to have a new flange welded on if it didn't match the stock one. So I took it to a shop to have it installed. They didn't have to weld anything and only had to "persuade" some of the hangers. They told me I could have easily installed this on my own. So if he want's to stay legal it will most likely just bolt right up to his cat. You have a lot of non stock stuff there.

It looks like it hangs down a bit..like my Weld on muffler does, I don't want that. Who has that Blue 2001 Tiburon that has no spoiler and tinted tails? I want my exhaust like that.

That woould be Nates car. 01importshark is his handle. I'm not which exhaust is on there, but you can have a shop make you a custom "angled" exhaust like that if you prefer. You can even do it on a Motoria if you take it to a shop, they can cut it before the axle and weld in a new pipe on an angle than weld in your muffler.
