Play nice guys. As for exhaust, you want a straight through designed exhaust. 2.25 not bigger. You want mandrel bent piping if possible and you want a good seal at the flange to. That means no cheesy flanges because they will warp and then cause exhaust leaks. I've seen some nice custom jobs and some horrible ones. Yesterday I saw one that had pipe entering muffler at a 40 degree angle and just filled gap with welds. "Ouch!" Also make sure tip isn't too close to bumper cup. Heat can melt paint on your rear bumper.

Rock,
I know this has been asked a thousand times, so here is a thousand and one. Are you guys still planning a catback exhaust?
I am going to get one and prefer it to be from you guys since you have showed a lot of dedication to the Lancer and your exhaust thus far has been thought of highly.

As for cbpotts' question, both exhausts aren't going to be doing to much until they actually have more larger diameter piping, not this axel-back stop gap measure.

RMRLA012 MMC Stainless Exhaust
Dudes Check out this stainless exhaust.
I'm getting 15 to 20% more power on the freeway.
Maybe 35% more shifting from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd.
Details in my vehicle profile...

im going with a true catback dual on my galant. i'll be upgrading it to a true dual when i get me a seat of headers. but nonetheless, im going with dual 2.25" mandrel bent pipes from the cat and going all the way back. with going with a dual, sound will be a big issue. i've thought about the the obx and the arospeed, and the magnaflow mufflers and well single alone they give a nice semi loud sound. and well, im scared of the sound of em slapped on a dual. so im going with a bosal. its 62 dollars a piece. str8 thru design and they're really quiet. on a single setup, it sounds just like stock @ idle but when u hit the throttle, you get a deep roar.

I'm torn between spending the $7K for an ACT body kit, springs, intercooler, turbo , blow-off valve and 18' rims & rubber; and spending twice that to trade in the OZ for a new Evo.Ideas?
