I know this is a common thing to do, but after spending x dollars thought i would share:

anyone wanna guess parts and prices?

 

[kevo]

EBAY cheap
Magnaflows/ cheap header?

 

[98 SMR AV6]

Looks fresh!

I'm guessing OBX headers and Magnaflow exhaust?

Oh BTW, I thought wrapping the headers were bad.. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

XS headers 90
Doesn't look like a magnaflow catalytic converter, maybe dynamax or Wagner
100 for piping
Both magnaflow mufflers for 300 together

magnaflow catback for 507 from performance peddler with the "forum discount"
and OBX headers for 270,
cat is just an ebay cat, but because the bolts were rusted through I decided to just replace it
with a cheapo one. we'll see if its bad, I might restore the oem cat.

and as far as exhaust wrap from what I got, it can retain moisture and make it more prone for
the welds to fail, but honestly the moisture would be quickly evaporated, and since it is made
from the 304 stainless it is a better quality metal than the metal in ceramic. but had some wrap
leftover, so thought id do it, and not to worried since obx has a lifetime warranty.

Good deal on the parts.

I guess you'll leave it polished till it's starts to dull and then do the obligatory engine black paint 'mod' to it?

 

[cfox28]

^you mean the headers? I heat wrapped them, and they'll match my intake with the heat wrap. but don't get me wrong i'm not a die hard heat wrap advocate, just like the look, and didn't see harm in doing it

 

[SykVSyx]

No, I mean the rest of the piping.

Most people will do some type of black paint once the piping gets beat up/dull over time.

 

[AllGOnoSHOW]

OBX ftw

 

[cfox28]

haha hell yeah obx for the win! and probably won't black out the pipes later you wouldn't really see it that much anyway.
