Default I think I need a cat back for my 90. And cheap

I usually have my headers and true duals with borlas on so I dont need some high dollar exhuast system to replace this stock junk.


Heres the deal, I use the stock exhaust to pass smog and when ever else needed (somethings broken etc...). Recently I had the muffler weld give out where the pipe goes in(muffler would rock back and forth). I was going to just have it welded, but noticed my Y pipe flange where it meets the main cat was cracked again. So I am looking for a new system

I found a flowmaster cat back system in summit for ~$350.00 is this the cheapest?

As a side note:
The mufflers that were on it (when I bought the car) are those junk ones from mid-america, the cheapies that have no name and are all black. Well when I took the cat back off my car the muffler fell off of the pipe and what do I find, the y pipe actually reduces diameter inside the muffler, it looked like it was a 1.5 inch holes at the most. POS!

Nobody?:seeya

Is the flowmaster probably the way to go?

Any opinions?

Bill: I bought the walker Y pipe with crossover tube from ZIP ( from the cat back to the mufflers, large holes. Then have some of those stainless 4 pipes ( no mufflers) out back. I plan on changing cause of tooooo much noise with headers. Hopin you get an answer, so I can too.

Can't help much here. As you can see I have the TPIS cat-back but it's a little pricy for your needs and the fitment sucked till it was altered by a great exhaust shop.

You might talk to the guys at Summit about that system before you buy. They're pretty good about their merchandise.

Bill,
I have a flowmaster system to fit your car on the c4 parts sections. I am talking to 1 person and have a 2nd also asking. If both deals fall through I could give you a yell.
