My girl has an 04 LS sport and we want to buy a stainless steel cat-back exhaust system for it. Just wondering if anyone has some good recommendations. We would like something that would give some nice gains, but nothing that's really loud. We would like a nice sound, but don't want it to sound like a civic with a fart can. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanx.

Why dont u go custom exhaust system way cheaper than buying a pre-made exhaust plus u could put a muffler u want example= hks, apexi,dc sport,etc.
I don't wanna do custom because it can get expensive for stainless, plus I plan on installing it myself, and I'd rather just buy a kit that already has HP numbers, and people already know what it will sound like. With custom, you'll never know what it will sound like till it's on the car. thanks for the ideas though, and I'm still open to suggestions.

$643 for a single pipe?! Holy s*it...

It'll sound different on every car you put it on.

get the rk sport single and add a resonator to it , and it should be pretty nice
friend just did 1 with a 14" resonator and he said its pretty quite
the black flame...fix ur sig to where its 500 x 200 before they warn you
other than that...Borla is the way to go
I know it'll sound different on every car, but you can still get an idea of how loud it will be. Yeah, I'm thinking of the RK sport single exhaust, but a resonator might be more custom work than I wanna do. If it was my car that would be one thing, but it's my girl's, so I just wanna buy something and throw it on right quick.

and sorry about the sig, I haven't posted on here much in the last couple years
magnaflow sells a 14" resonator (the 1 my friend used) , and its made to slip over 2 1/4" pipe on both ends , so you can clamp each side after you cut the pipe to fit everything
basic tools , and cutting tools needed
also it would be best to weld it up , but you can do 98% of the work and have a shop do the rest
paul. i have the rk single cat back with a resonator put in (well a different muffler out back ) and it sounds good.
i have the vibrant catback and i like the sound...not too loud...and sounds a lil different
the pipe from my cat to muffler was $127 including tax and labor. Also the welding to the cat and muffler I already had.
s there any difference between the bends on a 2.4 as opposed to the 2.2 from the cat back.....never compared them but they should be the same right......
nobody around me has a mandrel bender and 2.2 catbacks r cheaper than 2.4 catbacks
thanks
