wlk-43248 3" over axle to muffler pipe $64.99

Re: build your own 3" direct catback
Just dump it....
Really i just have my exhaust guy get me a I pipe(3") and it goes over the rear like stock since it is a stock replacement. Then whatever muffler. You can buy a U bend for cheap and have him make my tail pipes. Bet i spend 150$ + the price of whatever muffler i choose.
Which is basically custom, like mine i have the I pipe, dual cutouts and a used 80 series till i buy a outlaw flowmaster.
The possibilities are unlimited, you did piece together a decent kit for a direct install.

Re: build your own 3" direct catback
Anyone point me to an affordable 3" exhaust all the way back? The below is old but should I rely on the parts listed as known good? Thanks!
I need headers and Y pipe too...full redo of my exhaust if you will.

Re: build your own 3" direct catback
Their are a number of options for exhaust but if you will have long tube headers then the Hooker Black Heart exhaust is probably your best bet. If you'll have shorty headers then their really are probably a dozen choices and in the end they are all just bent tubing in a similar configuration and routing.
