Default what cat-back?

hi everyone. this is my first time posting so i wanted to say hi and maybe get some help. i have a 99 ex and i recently started doing some mods on it. so far i got an aem cai, and last friday i put in a dc sports header. i wanted to get some recommendations on what cat-back i should get. i'm running short on cash so i'm trying to get the most bang for my buck. thx.

If you're not set on having mandrel bent, polished pipes, you could go to a muffler shop and have someone bend you a stainless steel custom system. I'd recommend you bring your own muffler though, you never know what brands those shops have.

^^^ i agree.. BUT make sure you know the shop and they have a good reputation.. earlier this spring my stock exhaust broke at a weld. way up at the front of the piping so i had to have it all replaced. i went to a shop who, over the phone, told me i'd get 2.25" mandrel bent piping cat back..... i got 2" crushed bent with HORRIBLE weld jobs... but so far they have held up their "lifetime warrenty on parts and labor" as i've had to go back already.

next summer i'm getting a whole new setup.. so i just need this to last me till then.. i hate dealing with this ghetto shop
