Budget exhaust?

Post by comets »

I have a somewhat leaky exhaust on my 94 Wagon,
I probably won't go OEM'ish replacements.

What are your budget exhaust builds like?
I want something dual tipped yet stealth looking with a low rumble.

Stock cat / headers.

Is this on a non-turbo or turbo car?

You're best bet is to have an exhaust shop weld something up for you.

If you have an exhaust shop weld something up, it's up to you on the muffler. There's a lot of different brands out there. Borla, flowmaster, magnaflow, etc all make a generic fit muffler. It depends if you want it to be loud or not. The non-turbo engines can produce a droning exhaust note on the highway without the installation of a resonator, so you may want to also look into that.

I have yet to acquire the funds to make it happen, but I'm doing a full exhaust to the tune of $400 and change pending on welding costs. Assuming I do the welding myself, I'll be under $400.

Ignore the DP part, it's a catted midpipe.

Going to polish the tips out so they're not gaudy rainbow color.
