Default front wheel to all wheel drive

I want to change my front wheel drive GSX to a all wheel drive, does anyone know if that would be expensive? and for the price, is it really worth it?

**NEWS FLASH** If you have a GSX you already have AWD!!!!But if your talking about swapping a GST to AWD. Yes its been done, no its no the easiest. Suspension, gas tank and all that is different. You need drive shaft, x-case and a lot more. Not really worth it IMO, just buy a GSX. Easier and faste

Just buy a good aftermarket exhaust like apexi or greddy. They will bolt right up.

it can be expensive, but it's one of the cheaper performance parts you can buy for your car

Its not always that easy. Why do you want to keep the stock muffler? Even if you run 3 inch turbo back, which isnt good on a T-25 anyway(no backpressure) you still get to the muffler and then its reduced again. Just buy a universal Apexi, hks, or greddy muffler and weld that up if you insist on making your own. I would say just buy a already bent system from greddy or apexi and be done with it. Have you looked under the car? It takes two nasty bends which i couldnt even get a exhaust shop to do for me when i wanted 3inch with my old HKS muffler. Needless to say i sold that muffler and bought a Apexi system.

Well unless you have a pipe bender that can do mandrel bends then its pointless to do your own exhuast, youll just be hurting the system

can't you buy pipes already bent and just weld them together to make the exhaust, no matter how tight the bends are?
