::C4 Exhaust Recommendations, Please::
My father has a 1993 Coupe, and just heard my new Borla Stingers on my 2002. Can you C4 guys recommend a few cat-back systems for his coupe (please include approximate cost, too)? Thanks!!! :cheers:

I like my power effects...and being able to tune from loud to louder is :cool:
it was on the car when i got it, i think the previous owner said it was about $900 and he installed them himself...

Re: ::C4 Exhaust Recommendations, Please:: (omrossi)
here you go:
Corsa=stock idle but aggressive when you get on it....$approx 700-800
power effects=tuneable from stock to quite aggressive....currently about $1200
muffler cutouts=pretty loud, but you loose bottom end....$150
B&B=loud enough to set off car alarms...resonates quite a bit sometimes..$1200

I have some eliminators, I really like them. Got them off a forum member that had a Automatic and didnt like the resonating.
With the six speed the sound is much more manageable. I dont know if its in my mind, or the loss of weight of the mufflers, but I think my car does slightly better with them and in any event makes the car more fun to drive.
And for the price, if you dont like them you arent stuck with something you dont like.

Anything but flowmaster!!! I have 2 chamber Flowmasters with 3" pipe and it is way 2 loud. At 2000 rpms there is a huge amount of interior resonince. It is so loud it will make your ears ring on a 10 mile trip. I heard a C4 with B&B exhaust and it sounded AWESOME!

You don't need to by eliminators from a catalog. Just go to a good muffler shop and tell them to take of the mufflers and put in a straight pipe and put the stock tail piece on the end. Probably cost you $100.
Power Effects are a better solution. C4s resonate at 1700-2100. The stock are so quiet to keep your ears from ringing. P-Es can be tuned from reasonable to outrageous. You get what you pay for.

Don't forget looks.
B&B I think look the best
Corsa would be next
Borla with good tips next
Power Effects next. Would bennefit from Jet hot dipped tips, which are in my exhausts future
Flowmaster last. The tips looked like stamped welded painted pieces of garbage.
I like the Power Effects because they have a larger pipe than the Corsas(2 3/4 vs. 2 1/2) and can be adjusted for flow and sound with 6 settings. Its like having two exhausts instead of one. Hope this helps.

My thoughts exactly. Thats what I did. :yesnod:

If you don't like the way it sounds, you've only lost $50 or so.

I have the Flowmaster series 40 with no resonator and they sound great. They resonate a little at 1800rpm's but with the top off and the windows down (98% of the time for me) you can't hear the resonance.
