So I was talking to a shop today and they said they can do a cat back exhaust with 2.5in piping and a flowmaster exhaust for $200. Is this a good price? Also I'm looking for a good sound, but nothing too obnoxious becuase this is still my daily driver.

Check this place out cheep stuff....plus 200 is an ok price but a lot u can do ur own 2.5 cat back with tail pipe ....if u don't want anything too loud id look into the flowmaster 40 ....if u have extra funds look for magnaflow

How hard is it to install? Is this 2.5in? Is there any welding involved?

Not very hard u need a few adapter pipes off your cat to get to 2.5 then just run the muffler and run your tailpipe...and no u don't have to weld

I live in Kansas and We don't have inspections.... sooooooo I dont HAVE to have a cat....

If I dont put one on will in increase or decrease preformance

I will do nothing keep it on

Your cat does not hinder your engine in anyway just best to keep it on

It doesn't matter whether your county does inspections or not. If you live in the United States it is a federal requirement that you have a catalytic converter. Removing it will not improve your performance and only puts you at risk of getting a hefty fine.

And if u have like an old lets say BMW from the 70's and your cat had pellets in it the it would have been a good idea to cut off and switch to the honey combe....you have the honey combe you flow rate is fine and id keep that bad boy on there.

i like the apn headers also (thats wat i have). as for the cat, theres no reason to take it off. minimal gain in performance if any and $200 is a good price

Hey if I just buy a muffler do I need to weld it to the cat or any ways around that because local store sells for like 20$ and was figuring to just install myself if no welds needed Also If i just install the muffler right after the cat, can i just dump it right there? No need for more piping right??

Decrease, the engine will spontaneously combust.

yup just ask for some muffler clams that's all u need and yes u can just add straight muffler to cat and clamp and u don't need to worry about another pipeing

U might also need a universal hanger to add to the end to keep everything tight

Thanks for quick reply! But if I just dump the muffler...will that be bad if I go thru a foot deep puddle or something on the trail? or maybe have to pass through a little mud...?
