Question exhaust questions

hey guys i hada some questions about exhuats for my car. I have a 2004 oz.

1. does the rrrm axel back produce any gains or is it just sound?

2. does the greddy exhuast on rrm's website fit the 04's?

3. if i went down to road race and bought my exhast there would they install it for me and how much will it cost for them to install it?

the axleback gives such minimal gaines if you arent turboed that it is a waste of money unless you are jsut getting it for looks and sound

the greddy does not fit the 04 the 04 exhaust are 2" longer.the axle back will fit but as pqmike said it has minimal gains.your best option right now and this is what i plan on doing is buy yourself a good muffler and get it welded on at your local muffler shop with 2.25" piping.

I have an "04 OZ too. I bought my Greddy Evo2 from morepowerracing.com w/ free shipping. I have no idea at first that it won't fit because a lot of people are saying that the '03 and 04 OZ are basically the same.

To make the long story short, I was able to fit the Greddy into my '04 OZ, all you have to do is add/weld about two inches of piping at the tube that connects to the catalytic converter. You will have to cut the pipe of course and fully weld it so it wont leak but it will fit perfectly after that. Mine looks perfect and sounds great.

I tried to upload picture but computer says that I can only upload 100kb and that the picture is 136kb (although it is already in VGA size). I'm new to this forum sorry.

jsut getting a muffler will give pretty much no gains even worse than the axleback

thats not true. because the stock muffler is soo restrictive. a straight through muffler frees up loads of top end power.
