Hey everyone, so i had this idea of saving up for an exhaust system for couple of months now, heres what i came up with (All can be changed, its just a thought):
2.5" piping all around
single exhaust/3-4" Muffler with blue tip angled to the right and upwards a bit
Electric cutout wiht Y-pipe welded after headers or anywhere that would not affect ride hieght
Stainless steel and thats about it..
So i decided after school to visit 2 main custom exhaust shops locally, (I live in Canada,Ontario if any of you could refer me to some shops) and first shop said:
"you need more than $800 to do anything to your car, and we dont suggest muffler delete because it will be stupid loud, as well we would have to make the exhaust-even the parts from scratch because no one offers exhausts for your car".
Okay bye ill come back later- i said.
Second shop:
Told them what i want, old biker guy (i believe the owner) put my car up on the hoist started measuring stuff and basically heres what happened; i said i wanted a single exhaust (He said NO no you dont, looks like ass), i explained; sounds better, saves weight. Then he picks up a OBX style muffler with an optional silencer, and says we can use your stock piping, and at the end where it splits, just convert the piping to custom and bend this muffler upwards.
Ends up being $300. I dont know how it will sound, The muffler is a knockoff brand, "Performance_____". I also talked about my Cutouts i wanted, first he said it would be illegal blah blah (i know i just dont give a damn i want it) and he didnt really understand that it had a Y-pipe and is completely legal if the valve is shut..... Nor did he understood where to install it, i had to show him where to put it...
However, this is only my first part of physical research, as i do not want to deal with any sort of parts being sold online just because shipping and customs and installation, would be the same price if i were to buy one locally new/used.
Any suggestions, pricing averages for custom exhausts, is it possible, should i keep looking (I will keep looking locally regardless), or should i plain straight up buy a pre-made exhaust from a shop that provides exhausts for my tiburon.
P.S. Its a V6 5spd.
Thanks for reading!
