Exhaust Magnaflow, DC Sports, or Greddy Catback

I'll be buying a Cat back system in the next couple months and i was wondering if anyone would recommend any of the Magnaflow, Greddy, or the DC Sports cat back and why? The DC Sports one says it requires bumper modification on my OZ (or maybe that was the Greddy one), that turned me off on it but if anyone has installed this system on an OZ what exactly did it take? thanks

Magnaflow... but there's about a million threads about this already... not many people have the DC sports. You're going to find that more have the Magnaflow and the Greddy.

i just searched out an old thread.... i think id like the sound of the greddy and it looks WAY better but the magnaflow is cheaper and supposedly performs better. Also, i want the exhaust to sound good and the greddy looks like it may be a bit too loud...

Edit: thats an ES though....isnt the bumper on the OZ thicker and wider? more to melt lol

If i go custom stainless from the header back with 2.25 or 2.5 inches would that be good? I would get the magnaflow high flow cat and what muffler?

Well, I'm still saving for my Header/dp/exhaust, but from what I've read and been told by the nice folks here, I've decided to with RPW headers and downpipe, and then have a custom magnaflow done personally. I have an es though, and there's definityly no cat=back system that works my 05, thus the custom. I know enough about cars that if it ain't bolt up, I'm not gonna try....

A PLUG IN FOR RRM from ME.. Heheh.. I have the Greddy Evo Axle back from RRM.. I just got a custom 2.25" catback pipe.. and saved me a lot of money.. i think this is one of the best mufflers for our lancers.. Magnaflow is good but im not a fan of american brands that much on JAPANESE cars.. Just MY opinion...

Magnaflow muffler looks very low profile, thats why i choose it. I think the DC Sports catback is discontinued...good luck on finding that

I actually know the DC Sports is still out there....but i haven't heard anything on it and i dont wannt sound super ricey so im not gonna try something i know nothing about. The Greddy will burn my bumper and i dont wanna modify it so it looks like if i dont go custom ill go with Magnaflow....

about headers...sorry for bein a noob about this but what's RPW? I was gonna get the RRM ones (if im able to snag that used one from ROCK he says it comes with it for no extra charge.) whats the difference?
