Yes, the exhaust system, as in catback, not the muffler alone. Not for the GT anyway.

Yea sorry I meant bolts, I must have been distracted when i read this whole thread. There was a misunderstanding, I didnt know he was looking for just the muffler. No I dont even think that there are any bolt on universal mufflers out there just as yet. Anyways this thread seems to have died, no bolt on mufflers, get the whole system bolted or weld it on, sorry but yuo have no other choice.

Pesonally i would just spend the extra $$$ to go with a complete Cat-back set up. If will not only give you a great sound but some performance as well. I just ordered the GReddy Evo2 for my 02 GT. and you can just bolt it on where your factory one is.

I'd rather spend performance money on a 2nd gen DSM rather than the newer ones. They look great but dont perform as well as the 2nd gens, i cant wait until i get mine (95 Tsi Awd). The only downside to the car I'm getting, it's in the maroon colour . Ah Well, great car either way

Id say anything, LOL. Its just that mitsu took away the turbo and awd options for the 3rd gen, which kinda disappointed me, because their going for more looks then power. Don't get me wrong I like the 3rd gens, just that I love the 2nd. Although it would be nice to see a 2nd gen gsx vs a 3rd gen gt.

what is the stock horsepower on the 2nd gen gsx vs. 3rd gen gt?? i thought they were almost the same?

No the 3rd gen eclipse gt have like 200Hp and 205ft-lbs of torque whereas the 2nd gen eclipse/talon gsx/tsi turbo awd have 210HP and 214ft-lbs of torque. Its a bit of difference but let's not forget that the gsx/tsi turbo awd have...well...awd which gives them a better start off the line. But the 3rd gen gts has the same amount of HP as the 2nd gen gsx, just not as much torque. Which is why I'd like to see these 2 cars go at it stock vs stock and see how it turns out.
