    I went to the local muffler shop and told them I wanted to replace the exhaust from the flex pipe back, due to the fact that the flex pipe was leaking anyway. They hooked me up with a 2.25 inch stainless steel Flex pipe, high flow cat and custom bent 2.25 pipe back to a 3A Racing muffler with 2.5" inlet and 4.5" round slant tip. It sounds AWESOME, it has a nice low tone at idle and stays low thru the power band. NOT "ricey" like the fart cans on Civics...LOL

    i think the best size would be 2 inch... higher if you race alot, no lower tho... but a full 1.5 inch pipe is fun... no muffler and it soulds like a VERY LOUD DIRTBIKE... i have experimented with many sizes...

    i had to replace my flex pipe also and i drove for a bit without an exaust just cooming right form the headers and a makeshift down pipe so my ass didnt burn up...wow the sound our engines make its amazing...whne sitting at a red light or going slow it sounded crappy but when accelerating it sounded sooooooo good :-) but would of gotten annoying but how much would it cost ofor a single piece exaust system?

    get a custom 2.25in run with no res. Put a dynomax super turbo muffler on there and your good to go. Custom (non mandrel bent) piping is around $100 to run and to weld your muffler on.

    4-2-1 header highflow cat and dynomax 2.25 mandrel bent sounds damn good. A lot like a car and not to loud so you don't look like an ass everywhere you go.

    I have Pacesetter headers And a high flow cat and 2 1/2 inch pipeing all the way back. The muffler is a 3a racing muffler. and that damn muffler is deep. it does really shake the house when she is woken up in the morning
    If it is broken then fix it. IF NOT LEAVE IT THE HELL ALONE

    I would suggest a highflow over a test pipe.
