So, I got a 2" cat-back exhaust installed yesterday.
 : Got it done at Castle Hill Exhaust. I gotta say the guys did an excellent job.I wanted the exhaust to be on the quiet side. It'd be too quiet for most people but it sounds really nice to me. Not a real head-turner but still louder and better than stock. I chosed not to have tips as I want it to look stock. It's pretty much unnoticable 2000rpm and below. It comes alive 2250rpm up, but once it's 3000rpm+.... the engine and the exhaust notes, IMO, blend well together. The guy at the exhaust shop said for me to give it a week for it to carb up. It'll sound slightly deeper and louder then. Performance gain?... it doesnt add much power but i notice that it's much easier and quicker to get up to..say... 3000rpm than before. Throttle response is slightly improved and smoother. The car feels lighter and more edgy. :eclipsee_ Overally im pretty happy with it so far, I wanna hear how it is after it has worn-in a bit. Thanks Castle Hill Exhaust and everyone that has given me advices about cat-back exhaust. Cheers, Ivan Last edited by HyperKid; 26-11-2006 at 12:04 AM. |

Yeah the fiesta does sound neat with an exhaust. Trick is to keep em quiet, they sound might nicer that way... sorta sounds tighter ;)

:hihi:
Yeah, you asked how many mufflers does it have... I think when I look back on it, the guy said something about resonator, pipe works and muffler. I think the cylindrical looking thing near the catalytic converter is the resonator and the muffler is down the back. So I guess there's only 1 muffler. |

resonator makes quite a difference, i have to use an overly large rear muffler to compensate for the missing resonator

How much did it set you back HyperKid?
So if a cat-back was to be installed, what "parts" would it need?

220-240 is right on the money for 2inch cat back.
If you want to add some nice stainless exhaust tips, maybe add 80-120 ontop of that figure. they charge alot for the tips :P

All of the local exhaust shops charge an arm and a leg for tips out of their catalogues.

Yeah, Mitch, that's a bit steep for a tip. The guy said that the tip would cost me $20-30. Btw, I didnt have any fancy chromy tips on mine.
