ok i bought an aerospeed axelback exhaust and i want to know if it will bolt up to some 2.25 inch piping so that i can get my exhaust flowing a lil better. if not then i guess i will sell and buy a cat back so i can get the advantage of full ponies out of my exhaust so i dont have to go and buy new stuff after i already have it but its just not good enough to get all of the horses i could

If the flanges are in the stock locations, then there shouldn't be a problem bolting it up.

well a cat-back exhaust doesn't really give you all that much hp...like prob around 5 hp IF THAT. well your axelback exhaust is just the back section right? if so, u can just get custom piping and they will weld it on for you.

oki doki but i was just thinkin aoubt this is that there arent many mandrel bending places in montgomery so it kinda sux but i guess ill try ad find someone to bend me a pipe so that i can either weld or bolt it on but id rather bolt it on with flanges cause it just seems easier

Well you don't necessarily need a mandrel bender, some muffler shops carry u-bends where they simply cut them up and match the curves of the stock piping. Ask around if they carry these.

wow never heard of it i just knew that i didnt want to go with cushed piping becuase i know it doesnt flow worth a shiznit. but thanx for that idea i think ill be goin and doin that very soon. should i feel any difference at all. and aft that im getin a highflow cat boot legged way with a little bit of guts laying in the trash so i think that will help a lil too. i just cant believe that a gran am kept up wit me for 2 and the begening of third gear which really kinda ticks me off.
