Does anyone offer stainless tailpipes for a third gen? Just looking for round 2-1/2" stainless tailpipes with a slash cut end. I want to get a Hooker cat back, but I don't like the clamp on tips they offer in the kit.
Also, what kit should I get? It looks like two are offered.
Is one of these for a dual cat setup, or something? I see they list engine codes in each, just want to know the differences. The car is a 2.8 originally, getting an L03 swapped in initially. I have flow tech headers and y pipe I plan to use initially. Is the 3 bolt flange going to leak at the muffler? Or do I just scrap the Hooker cat back idea altogether and buy the Mac system I know is good?
Yeah I saw those, but I think maintaining a polished look on those would be a pain if they even polish up nicely. Thanks for the suggestion though. Worst case scenario, I have some 2-1/2" stainless tips I cut off a fox body that I can weld to the Hooker tailpipes. The stainless tailpipes I like the most are Magnaflow and OBX ones, but I don't know where to get just the tailpipes. The OBX 3rd gen catback doesn't appear to even be available anymore.
This car belongs to freaky on here, and I really dig the look of the OBX tips:
Going to go with the Mac system for now as I think the system quality is higher and it has the tailpipe look I like. Later on I may adapt a Hooker muffler to it for a comparison, or have some stainless tailpipes without resonators mandrel bent up for it, or both.
