question for ppl who have had their exausts done

Post by shue »

ok another girl question, im gettin my extractors ( finally :roll: ) next week and wanna know what else would i have to do to my exaust. the last time lee took a look at it he said all it had was the shiny tip and everything else is stock. ive got a hks dragger "tip" and am gettin the extractors. would i need to get a cat back system as well to make it a propa system or what else would i need to get along with the extractors? and where would i get the cat back system. whats a high flow cat? and where do i source all of this?

The extractors will bolt on to the existing cat & rear section, but if you want to get max power out of it - redo the ass end. Get a high flow cat & high flow mufflers on a nice peice of 2.5" pipe all the way to the tip.

Some folks have bought off the shelf cat backs, some have them made up. I had mine made custom & out of stainless, with mega expensive cats & mufflers - it cost me $1300... (but hey, being non-mivec, I gotta squeeze every kw out of it :P )

You could theoretically get it done right for probably half that cost.

[quote="shue"]the hks dragger tip is that the muffler? quote]

Yep - so in your case all you need to do get the cat & middle muffler (there's another one just behind the cat) plumbed up to your Dragger...
no need to replace that.
Should be sweet then!

Any exhaust shop can do this for you - probably best to try find a performance exhaust shop. Getting a high flow cat is both beneficial for power & fuel consumption. Most shops have cats & mufflers to suit on the shelf - there's no FTO specific type. You could probably get it all done & fitted for about $500 I'd say.

Hey Desert, what did that cost you ? I spoke to dave at RPW and he suggested a 2.5" press bent with lukey muffler and ultra flow resenator with a 2.5 universal 2.5" cat.
