Default New Custom catback. Pics and Vids!

I got tired of waiting for an exhaust system to comeout for the 2nd gen so,... I got a carbon fiber universal muffler and did a custom-bolt on catback system from a muffler shop.

Since it's carbon fiber, i made it angled a little. I have Tanabe DF springs so i'm little on the low side. So far, I've been careful with the bumps and dips so i havent had any scrapes.





The sound is amazing. Not loud at all since I bolted on after the resonator. It's very deep and has minimal drone during high speed cruise.


Feel free to ask me questions!

Nice job man. Looks clean. What did you use for the hanger piece? or did it come with the brackets?

cincinfocal - I got the universal muffler from a local seller and did it custom. I'll take more pics later with a better scenery tomorrow and post it online. where are you located?

onemorescion - The muffler came with that bracket. The muffler shop welded the hangers onto the bracket

Man that's freakin' awesome! I'd buy that in a heart beat if someone made it available. I to agree with 2_much though, looks like there's potential for some bumper burnage.
