What is the best exhaust with the easiest install? I have little to no experience installing exhausts, but with the diy manals I want to try it myself. How much more difficult, if any, would a s-pipe back exhaust be from just axle back? I am thinking about the greddy sp2 axle back or the megan oe style s-pipe back. Any other suggestions are wanted!

 

axel back is cake!

 

an s-pipe back exhaust is after the headers.. s-pipe connects to midpipe.. midpipe connects to axleback. If you want sound and close to no gains/performance, go axleback. if you want typical gains/performance, go catback.. better yet, spipe back and slap on a header.

 

If you have a way of getting under your car (Jack + Jackstands) and some tools, then you can do an s-pipe back install.

 

spipe back is pretty easy, it's just a couple bolts and hangers

 

what about if it requires the removal of the spipe? is that a little more complicated?

 

You wont have to remove the spipe unless you buy a new one.

 

the axel back is the easiest exhaust to do..use some WD40 on the bolts in the mid-pipe to axel pipe and trust me it wont take that long....

F.Y.I. the stock exhaust is heavy!!

 

Ok so it sounds like axle back and midpipe back are pretty straight forward. However, I am also looking at the draxas and megan which do have the spipe and want to know how difficult that would be to install? Is the spipe connected to the exhaust manifold? With me having little to no experience would I be able to install a new spipe?

 

spipe goes right after the header and you don't have to swap out the stock spipe unless you really want to. my megan drift spec is a spipe back exhaust, so everythhing behind the spipe is replaced.

 

I am just looking for the best exhaust for the money. So, I am wondering if it is worth the money in performance to get an exhaust that has an spipe and if I would be able to install it myself.
