I am not aware of a complete system from headers to tips that can be purchased as a whole. But I have read countless threads of what others pieced together that make great results. Just spend a couple days reading and you'll find what you need.

Re: Best Bang for the buck..

Best bang for the buck exhaust i have seen are custom exhausts which costs most under $100 to make plus muffler.

I have been known to find exhausts through companies for real cheap then have summit beat it and get it even lower.

Just got my magnaflow 16829 for $315 instead of the listed $433. So all in all it depends on what best bang for the buck is. Because $315 is way better than $433, but $200 is EVEN BETTER if I had my buddy do it (but I dont trust him..hah, kind of sad but true), so i went for SS 3" mandrel bent magnaflow.

Cheapest systems are the hooker cat back and flowmaster exhausts, which arent SS nor FULL 3" exhaust. Soooo

Im waiting for someone to chime in.

Re: Best Bang for the buck..

Oh you want to know that ey. I guess I can give you the deal as well. The things I do for people...haha

Bandit Exhaust, finding it is on your time though. Enjoy!

P.S. Bandit has Free Shipping I think as well, so $315 out the door...but this was a few weeks ago IIRC.

P.S.S. I DID NOT purchase my kit from Bandit Exhaust

Re: Best Bang for the buck..

thanks for the info. they are not on e-bay but they will let you make offers on their list items and it looks like they even take a few, since you were 100 less than every place else.
in case anyone is wondering the cat we can use in cal is the 36019 magnaflow.

here is the bandit link - http://banditexhaust.com/catalog/pro...roducts_id=450 and its 316.00 and no shipping. plus bandit is not in california so there is no sales tax either.
