Gary, you bring up a very good point. Roughly 80 bucks for the performance
muffler of his choice, another 55 bucks for a Catco cat (or roughly 125 for a
Carsound), add 100 bucks(or so) for welding it all up, and he's got a good
sounding/performing exhaust system.
I've got all the whoopty-doo stuff on my Dak (headers, 3" cat-back, hipo pcm,
FIPK, blah, blah blah), and was relaying my experience. For a stock 318 guy
just wanting to get better sound and a little hp/tq, your suggestion is more
cost effective, and should offer an equal (or better) performance gain than a
cat-back system.
