and for the exhaust i'll be buying the megan racing with muffler and the midpipe (3 piece kit) or the OBX one (potatoes shooter muffler)

not looking for the best coz i'm a little short of money how every my dad said he'll pay for it.

also i don't have the car with me now so how many cat converters are there i can't really remember coz i remember there's one after the flex pipt then another one after like a foot

Next time do a search but the answer is yes. Warpspeed and Cattman are the most popular choices in Y-pipes for our cars. Cattman offers better quality and Warpspeed offers better value.

If your car is cali-spec, which I assume it is, there are three cats (a precat in the manifold, a precat in the Y-pipe and full cat after the Y-pipe). The cali-spec aftermarket Y-pipe eliminates the precat on the Y-pipe.

It should sound good, but IIRC the Megan catbacks are on back order, and OBX is garbage.

so if i buy that y pipe all i will be using is 2 cat's the one by the manifold and the one after the y pipe?

and there few megans on ebay for $335 so might get one of those or the OBX any thing is better than the one wihtt he hole

This guy has the Megan Cat-back for 347$ shipped. (Or 287$ local pickup in Cali, which would be sweet)

imported_D_Roc

so if i buy the y pipe witht he cat converter and a catback like this


is that all i need for the replacement? the pipe in the middle is a resonator rite?

Correct and correct.

o0zarkawater2

Yep.

I'm currently looking to replace my whole exhaust. I also don't have a bunch of money to spend, and am looking at the OBX header/y-pipe combo, which is only 100$ more than the Y-Pipe you are looking at. From what I've read, the most gains are had from replacing the headers on our cars. So why not spend the extra 100$ and get the OBX Header/Ypipe combo since you are already looking to do everything else.

imported_D_Roc

i saw them but if i buy that that means another $100 for the cat converter. i don't need much performance just want to fix it for now and then after summer sell it and get a bmw or audi

o0zarkawater2

Ahh, forgot about the Cat, I will most likely be using the OEM one, because mine is still in good shape.

It's a good setup, hope you don't mind a lil noise

imported_D_Roc

any idea how much it will cost if i take it to a shop with parts. i can do it my self but the bolts are rusted bad and I don't want to break them, all i have is a propane torch and i doubt it will do the trick

Get some PB blaster, they sell it at AutoZone. And all the nuts are 10x1.25, your gonna need a few of those (8-12 I don't remember the exact #).

imported_D_Roc

doubt pb blaster will work man, it took me 2 cans of wd40 to spray on the nuts holding the rear bumper than the heads on the nuts are inside but still the heads broke off so i'd imagine what it will be to take those off

PB blaster is meant for rust, WD-40 isn't. It helps if the car is warmed up as well. It worked fine for me on my '96 when I installed my Warpspeed Y-pipe.
