Default $200 EBay catback

Been wanting to turn up the volume some, but really didn't want to dump another $5-600 on a name brand exhaust. Honestly, from my experience over the years with SLP, magnaflow, etc I've had issues. Issues with crap slip together pipes held together by 8 different U-clamps (that crush the pipe) and leaky band clamps, etc. So I found one of these DNA Motoring catback. $212 shipped. Figured if anything, if it didn't line up right I'd just dump it after the mufflers or toss the whole thing in the dumpster. So I got it, and at first glance I was impressed. No slip on pipes, NO clamps, all stainless with polished mufflers. Mufflers look like the magnaflow streets. And best of all, it was only two sections per side, not 4 like everyone else. Tips are welded, the mid pipe side is a ball flange, the axleside is a flange and BOLT joint with gaskets included. So it looked good, but would it fit. Short answer, like a glove! One hour later (had to manually saw the stock pipes by the axle) and literally one readjustment it was installed, lined up, and even better not one leak or contact with the car frame. This went on my 04 Mach btw. As for sound, that's always subjective, but I think it sounds amazing. Anyway, just thought I'd throw this info out there for y'all. I looked around and found zero reviews on these knock offs. All I found were people saying "you get what you pay for" "don't do it", etc when guys asked about these systems.

Thanks 99! No plans for headers right now. Those things are such a pita for the gains I'd see, borderline worth it. Eaton swap is on the list eventually.

That's pretty bitchin and looks to be of decent quality too. Hell, you can't even buy two Flowmasters and have a shop weld them in for $200 most of the time....
