Retardedly Easy Question

Please settle a dispute we are having before buying parts. Can you or can you not hook up a 3 inch cat-back exhaust to the stock cat? Specifically talking about the Buschur cat-back.

Peace

the buschur i believe is a slip fit design with no flanges. i think he does make a regular flnged 3" though which of course will be less power than his race kit.

Check out about a third of the way down, you want the "EVO8 SCCA LEGAL 3" CATBACK " so that you can use their 3" to 2.5" flange adapter. From the text it looks like you need to buy one 3" SS exhaust clamp to connect the flange and if you upgrade down the road to a 3" downpipe and testpipe/cat you can remove the flange adapter. Call them to make sure but that looks like the way to go. If noise is an issue the Magnaflow muffler is a bit quieter but still lays down the HP.

I am looking to purchase a Greddy Ti catback when I get my evo in a month. Does anyone have an answer to whether thatwould bolt directly to the stock cat? If not would it work with a different brand hi performance cat? Sorry to jack the thread any help would be greatly apperciated. Thank you.

I've had a Greddy Ti catback since my car had 283 miles, bolted up really nice. I did machine up a spacer that moves the whole rear section of the exhaust back about .850".

Not a huge amount but I haven't had to clean the bumper since installing it. Before I did this about every couple weeks or so I would have to use wax to clean all of the crap off of the bumper.

Also the Greddy sounds really good. I was kind of worried when I first started it up, it is really deep (and loud) at an idle, thought it would be way too loud but this isn't the case. It just has a deep rumble to it at an idle.

Good luck
