Ok, my dad works at midas(car shop) and I co-op there, so i can get stainless steel piping for relatively cheap and custom bend it myself. I was just wondering what size piping to use? I was thinking 2 1/4 inch myself. And, i was also planning on using the stock cat, with some aftermarket muffler..
what do you think about this and the size of the piping I'm going to use?
thanx

i got a 93 ls, has 2 1\2 in pipe, the catilic converter is gutted, deleted the resonator and got a apexi n1 look alike muffler. its loud and great i love it.
what is the stock piping on integras? 1 7\8?

 

I would use 2.25" piping unless you are planning on doing some major engine work or going with forced induction.

 

Ew, crush bent.

How much is "relatively cheap"

If relatively cheap is near $200, you can get a precut piping kit you just have to weld & mount.

 

i agree, mandrel would be better but maybe not fesible in stainless, i wouldn't go much over the 2.25" due to possible loss of back pressure, the cat is going to be pretty restrictive though, and of course you cant get the exhuast out but so quick due to header port sizing, all though cat back will free it up you would have to p&p head, install headers, cat, mid pipe and rear section all in relatively same diameter piping to truly free up exhaust, but for daily driving with a little sound just a rear section would do the trick

 

well relatively cheap is like 25 buks canadian! i just have to get a muffler..
its pretty decent..
25 buks for 12' stainless will do the entire car, so i figure why not?

 

I would say do it since you need an exhuast and if you really don`t like it then you can go buy one.Its not like this is going to coast you much.

 

it cost me $195 total cat back and buying the muffler of ebay with shippin. if yur gonna get exhuast from the shop they will charge u from 250-300. thats what they told me

 

rs*r hehehe those are some quality cat-backs for about half the price of any american one i think

 

i would go for it like was stated earlier, your not going to break the bank with that, plus you can pick up some pretty sweet universal(weld on) mufflers pretty cheap
