i was fishing for prices. i was thinking of getting a catback system well my goal is to get a nice deep tone that gives the car a decent character ( if that makes any sense). dont want it to be too loud on low rpms.

real thin line between deep and raspy

either way you're looking at a grand to a grand and a quarter for a decent system.

standard system from catback is good for up to 200hp ... why bother

i would be saving for intake and headers for actual gains

im not looking at a exhaust specifically for gains its more of making a nice sound. i would like the exhaust note to a be a bit deeper and a tiny bit noticeable but yea intake and headers will be down the line

Fred made a great thread here about the various catbacks and their sounds. And I guess if you google any of them it will come up with all the info you need about each one, and usually youll find decent reviews on here about each branded catback system

I find that the CL9s tend to put the power down much better than the nuggety XR6s and SV6s? No hate on them - my friend has a tough SV6 black on black ute with an XForce catback and I love it. But I still beat him.

haha true.. the second gear pull on the CL9 is actually not bad!! was very impressed for a 2.4L n/a.. but power isnt my main concern at the moment cz im thinking about getting an old ae92 or something like that and building a sleeper as a project car..

i just want to do the things to the CL9 that makes it something memorable like wheels that like and a sound that i like if you guys know what i mean.

professional exhaust said it cost too much to do a custom exhaust and a JDM yard said fujitsbo is close to $1700.. so i have to reconsider this cz i cant afford to spend that much on a exhaust atm.

however tuffy's quoted me $500 over the phone. what do you guys think about this.. im really confused about it

**axispower** · 11-10-2013 03:31 PM

ebay and heeltoeautomotive.com have been better options for me. That is about what youd pay for fujitsubo legalis r though.

There are second hand ones in the parts for sale section on ozhonda that go for around 1.3k I think? Just type it up in the search bar.

Have a look at the "post your euro" threads in the appearance/gallery forum as well, so you can see what looks good and what doesnt and whats already been done, if you want to make your CL9 memorable.
