Default Catback exhaust?
Which is the best catback exhaust for the money? I have seen magnaflow for $800, borla for $900 and the slp for $450.

Magnaflow for $800??? It only cost about half that ($400-$450). Flowmaster is cheap and has a really nice sound. Probably doesn't flow the best though. The Hooker system is cheap also.

Hooker is the best sound for the money IMO.

Even the dual tip I see around $650-$700, not $800. That seems crazy to pay that much more for dual tips.

Mr. Brett, I like your sig pic but I would change it to Obama/Hillary Sucks.

Magnaflow is the best for your money IMO. Can't beat stainless.

magnaflow and the hooker are probably the best flowing you can get for a fair amount of money

I have magnaflow and it's too quiet for me right now, hopefully putting on headers and a Y pipe will fix that... but it is a great exhaust overall

We looked into it, but the cost of being a sponsor here is more than we expected, but if things take off this year like we hope, and sales so far show, we probably will be pretty soon.

If you do not mind the truck tips, the magnaflow single tips are a good deal. It sounds pretty good.
