SR Catalytic Converter Back Bolt On Pipes (cat-back pipes)

MIKEYMIKE · 08-15-2006, 02:23 AM

I searched but didn't find the answer.

Would it be feasible to just install cat back pipes onto my OEM exhaust system? I want a deeper/throatier growl but I don't want it to be all loud like a full blown aftermarket exhaust system.

TIA,
Mike

You can install, but it's cutting and welding, not bolt on tho.

The SR pipes bolt on to the exhaust manifold but you will have to cut your stock muffler and clamp it to the SR pipes. It would be interesting to hear how the SR pipes sound with the OEM exhaust..

NO welding is needed

So this would be the same if I already have the eisenmann race exhaust and later on decided to add the SR pipes? Thanks.
