Looking to purchase a new exhaust...

[Thug541]

And my question is my old axle back exhaust gave the perfect sound I was looking for, unfortunately it is toast now along with the midpipe so I was just thinking about going a full cat back. Now my question, is a catback legal in New York? And also, i'm looking for a nice low sound...not too loud...not too raspy...what exhaust system would you guys suggest to attain this sound. Thanks in advance.

I have the Magnaflow and I like it, nice sound IMO.

racing beat is the only way!!!

wont drone or anything and doesnt sound ricey. i have one and love it

 

[Thug541]

Hmm do you guys have websites I could find these exhaust?

 

[ariana]

Got it...wow, thanks guys..quick responses too. And while I have your attention...what do you think would be a good short ram intake? Prob. won't buy soon, but just in case.

its a steal. name brands are nothing more than a name. you can pay 100 dollars more for the name if you want to but i dont see much of a point. you are paying for the name and the time they spent researching it. i just assume buy cheaper and get the same performance gains. you wont get much out of an intake anyway, so why spend 150+ on it?

Good point. How hard/easy is it to install an intake?

intakes on the 2.0l protege are 10-30 minutes tops.

I've done about 3-5 personally.

yeap once you get the stock CRAP out it's like 5 min unless you are anal about how it is angled.
