Would it be a waste of money to put some kind of higher flow muffler on now,or wait until I can afford to upgrade to at least a cat-back system later? If I got one now,is there a direct bolt-up to the stock location & size? And also,the 99 Galant has an unknown maintenance record to me...at what point should have the cat been changed out? I have quite a few miles on it. I'd like a high flow version of it too! Thanks

 

Nothing wrong with changing out the muffler. The 8G already has stock at 2.5 piping so I wouldn't go any bigger than that. At this time there is not a manufacter that makes a complete catback anyway for the 8G so you might was well settle for a nice muffler and have a shop custom bend some pipes for you.

As far as the cat is concerned I don't think it needs to be changed at anytime. At least it wasn't something that I have looked into to much. As far as a high flow cat it will mess with your emmisions so keep that in mind.

 

Thanks,then I guess a stainless muffler would be good.Does anyone have a suggestion on manufaturer? I know there are some pretty expensive ones,but whats the best deal 4 the cash? I'm just realizing,it looks like parts for a Mitsubishi rival some of the Corvette parts I've run across on my C3 transformation...expensive,but with less results

 

try magnaflow for now....

 

Magneflow would be good.Did you have any model or part number to suggest?

 

model#14803
model#14816
model#14829
model#14818.....

all universal muff.

 

check your local muffler shop's for pipe bends and 2.5 system.( cat back )

 

Thanks for the help guys,I will check around locally for prices on a mandrel bent system,& 2.5" is the way to go for the V6, right? I wonder if buying the muffler online and paying shipping would be about the same as getting it local w/o shipping? Guess I have to make some calls....

 

4 banger, 6 banger aint matter...2.5 is the best way to spit out exhaust gas. order it online, better and faster....

 

if i where to replace the stock cat with a high flow cat would that mess up the computer at all. i am not concern about emision. they don't test that here in minnesota. when i get back home i was going to have the hole exhuast sytem gone through with new header , 2.5 in mandrel bend piping with high flow cat and mufflers and a nice crome 3.5 in to 4 in tip. keeping it mild so when i do get on it she has a nice sound to her.
