by the way im only saying runing the pipe from the engine to the end of the cat not all the way to end of the car...and what will happen if i take off the muffler and just weld a pipe from where the muffler was to out the bumper will that screw up the car too? or will it just make it louder?

Don't waste your time or your money if you are going to go about it like that...you will cause more problems then it is worth!!! Chances are the pipe will not hold up to the pressure and the tempreture. Plus it will probably sound like shit and not offer any performance becuase you will not be able to bend the pipe properly...


Like I said...save the extra money and get it done properly!!

Mienike did mine for about $250. They made to pipe and installed the muffler. They did an amazing job. It is perfect and sounds great.

If you want to save some money, find a cheap muffler. BGR just posted on a sale in another thread about Arospeed mufflers. You can get a decent cheap muffler and any decent muffler shop will be able to custom the rest of the piping for you up to the main cat. This will already be plenty loud as you will be getting rid of your resonator. The reputable muffler shop can mandrel bend the piping and install it for you with hangers too.
