Hey good to see you here!

When I took my Sammy in to have it's exhaust-ectomy, I ended up buying the whole deal from the dealer. A little over $300 for 2.25" pipe, Cat and exhaust from the end of the Thorley to just behind the left rear wheel.

I can't recall the price of the muffler and cat from petroworks, but unless they are somehow magically better in some mystical way, you'll get a better deal getting it done at a local shop with their muffler and cat. Hey, it's a Samurai, not a Testarosa...

Okay, let's hear the "pro" comments on buying Petroworks' cat and muffler. I'd like to know, as would Tex, here. And the argument "They use highly-refined unobtainium." will not be accepted!

Summit raceing carries a 2" in and out cat for $60. Looks like the same one i got from a muffler shop but it cost me $89. Wish i'd took the time to order but i was in a rush for inspection.

 

muffler shops SUCK A$$...i would rather replace my exhaust system with a galvanized plastic straw than subject my baby to the likes of a FUC^%$^& muffler shop...but ifg i had no choice.....
well i'd seek out a welder and have a "custom" job done...

What is the concensis on running a cat, does it make your exhaust smell better? It is kinna sorta not really required down here in FL, but if it makes it smell better and helps out the enviroment I am all for it. I'd go with a FLOWMASTER! A guy @ a ride I went to a little while ago had one on his zook and it sounded bad a$$! The idle was the best!!! I have a l-cheapo cherry bomb turbo II (14.95) muffler with no cat, I am planning to have 2" w/high flow cat and 2" flowmaster series 40.. Flowbees are cool..

I'm LOCKED!

Got zook?I do,88.5 spoa'd on 29'shttp://www.geocities.com/bik3r

 

they make a FLOWMASTER for small imports that would be a good choice, they are tuned for the lower displacement

 

Exhaust for me too...

I'm gonna be getting an exhaust built soon as well and I only have one worry. I DO NOT want it to sound like those "nancy" Civic's and CRX's we have drivin' around. If only it could sound like a small block Chevy...ahhhh....(drool).... Those little crappers sound like lawnmowers rippin around! My Zuk sounded sweet when I had the exhaust ripped off just behind the header! Loud as hell, but still sounded better. My local shop said they would install a stainless steel exhaust all around for $300 Canadian, which is about $200 US. This included a Magnaflow stainless muffler. Still, I'm worried about the sound. As for a cat, could pick up a high-flow 2" in and out for about $100 installed. All in all, less than $300 US installed and it's STAINLESS! Shop around, and you'll find a worth while place. We have a shop about an hour away that built my buddy's Vette's stainless exhaust for just over 4 bills Canadian! There are cheaper shops out there, you just have to find them. At least I won't have to shell out another $1000 for this exhaust like I did for the Borla on my T/A! LOL
Good luck!

Re: Exhaust for me too...

I have a 2" round nonstainless MagnaFlow muffler with hi-flow cat and am very satisfied with the sound. It is deeper than the ones used by the local Cambodian Honda Street Racing Team.

Re: Exhaust for me too...

a&M 225 for the cat is a lil high man a local shop could give just as close to the same thing! I just redid mine with 2 1/4" pipe bendable pipe from discount auto! finishin it today and like the results I did with my new welder!
