Exhaust

Can anyone give advice on an exhaust system (cat back) that looks OEM?

Re: Exhaust

Why not hang a Flowmaster, Magnaflo, or other brand in there? Walker is not the only one. The tips can be cut to match an original set-up at the shop that installs them. I think the cat back tubes are 2" or 2.5".

Re: Exhaust

I looked at Walker exhaust and found a cat back system that looked OEM except the tail pipes had a outer diameter of 2" and the pipes had ribbed bends. During my search, I noticed the DynoMax cat back system part #17493, which is made by Walker exhaust and It looks OEM.

Re: Exhaust

Thank you gt4373 for your help!! If you get a moment check out the DynoMax cat back system I referenced above. It's close in appearance to your stock exhaust. Let me know what you think. The DynoMax system is 2.5" as well..

Re: Exhaust

That's The Same System I'll Be Using When Mine Needs To Be Replaced,The Only Difference Is Mine Has The 4-Bolt Cat.
