Dude,

I am doing the same next summer. Lots of threads around here have been discussing about the GReddy EVO. I am convinced it's the product to go, specially when it is designed for the G20.

My advice is to keep reading these threads and believe me, you will find interesting conversation. I take it as an education forum. Thanks to all the experts out there....cheers to you guys all......

Greddy makes the only cat-back exhaust for 99+ G20's. Any way else, it will have to be custom done. Custom means more money. Greddy is a very high quality exhaust. Not too loud from what I heard. get it. he he

I think 5zigen makes a Fireball exhaust for the P11 too. But from what Luke tells me it's LOUD.

did not know that. They way it looks....does seem it would be a high pitched noise. Can't do that with a G20. A civic can get away with that.:bandit: :smoka: :smoker: :smoker2:

Custom means more money.

Even though it is a crush-bend custom job, my whole P10 custom 2.25" cat-back, Thrush glasspack(resonator) to Borla Turbo was only $260 installed. The piping is stainless and is guaranteed for over 15 years, the Borla is stainless and warrantied for a million miles and the Thrush was only $15 and can be replaced if it goes bad. I had flanges welded to both ends of it for easy removal.

I would venture to say that if you were to have mandrel bends done, add maybe $75-$100 to that and you are still paying less then prefabricated cat-back set-ups. And you get what you want.

You do have to do more research with a custom exhaust with reference to sound levels, look, quality, etc. But in the long run, it was way cheaper for me to do a custom set up than it was for me to buy a $400-$500 cat-back Greddy or rear section Remus. AND I don't have to have IMO a big ass polished coffee can exiting the rear of my car. I have a stock looking angle cut 2.25" tip coming out of the rear which is pleasing to the eyes.

And it sounds great! Not too loud, no raspy bumble bee buzz, smooth. Now if I could do some Dyno's then I could see what HP improvements I gained, if any.

just my thoughts!

Well maybe exhaust can be custom done w/o spending big bread. But on the other hand you try other sh*t like aero components (body kits) you end up spending dat big bread. I guess you just gotta decide
when and what should be custom done and it can work out right fuh ya.
Custom also wins shows, too. he he he eheeehehheheheheeheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. booooooooheeeeeeeheheheh.

Mandrel bending if you can even find anyone who does it would be way more then 100, Theres one place were i live who does it its 35 bucks a bend, and if i rember correctly there are 5 bends and one hump to clear your rear axle so around 210 just for the bends. Plus all the other stuff and besides the greddy are cermaic coated big plus and bolts right up it toke me 30 min to drop my old exhaust and get my new one on. Its a little pricey but well worth the money really good sound to.

Well, let's look at it this way:

$89 - Borla 2.25" Turbo shipped to my door
$15 - Thrush glasspack from Jegs Performance Shop
$7 - Cheap ass stainless tip from Advance Auto Parts
AND
$150 - custom crush bends from shop in Zanesville, OH
-------------
$260 - Approx. total for all parts and installation

Now I stated:

that if you were to have mandrel bends done, add maybe $75-$100 to that

So if you were to add $75-$100, total would be approx. $225 to $250 for labor and parts, NOT including muffler, tip, and glasspack.

I did a lot of searching on custom mandrel and found that you can buy prefab stainless mandrel bends for $15 to $25 depending on length and degree of bend. The shop was going to cut them to the correct length and weld them to straight stainless piping. And Voila'. A custom mandrel bent cat-back exhaust for approx. $335 to $360. But, I decided to cut costs and save a bit with the crush bends.

How much was the Greddy cat-back?

So I think I was approximating the cost pretty good when I said to add another $75-$100 to that $260 that I paid. And the guy did a fantastic job on my crush bend. He took his time to make it a precise and clean install. I was amazed at how well it turned out, even with the crush bends. He used the largest possible bend casts to keep the crush to a minimum. Thanks ROD!
