Exhausts

[DRAGwagON]

anyone know of some places that make 2 1/4 exhausts for sw2's? im givin up on firepower ( turbopower.bigstep.com ) because its been over 2 weeks since i put in a order for one and they never got back to me , the only places i know are pacesetter and sps but theyre kind of expensive

they didn't take your money, did they?

Pacesetter cat-back only works on 93-96 coupes with the 99.2-inch wheelbase. The SPS cat-back is 2.0 inches. Thermal makes one

I built mine, 2.5" mandrels from Summit and 2.5" straights. I have a 24" long glasspack as a resonator and a 2.5" Dynomax Super Turbo on the end. It's deep, and fairly quiet until you romp it.

Yeah, the coupes are a few inches shorter than the sedans and wagons. I found this out the hard way when I went to put on the cat-back exhuast that was in great shape from a '92 SL2 parts car onto my '92 SC. No go.

1991-1996 coupes had 99.2 inch wheelbases.
1991-2002 sedans and 1997-2002 coupes had 102.4 inch wheelbases.

Just get the muffler you want and have them set it up for you.

I don't know why people spend $400 on an exhaust system from online when they can get one built at the shop and put on for half that.... more for SS.

b/c a shop built system for less than $400 will not be mandrel bent or SS. pay for crap, get crap.

What do you want to know about the Thermal RD? I have one on my 00 SL2 and find it a bit loud but everyone else seems to like it.

You might want to check out local performance muffler shops as well, after I did my system I had to work on the wifes SL2 and got a much lower cost quote for a system made out of Magnaflow SS parts.

OK I understand the SS part the as for mandrel bend you are NOT going to notice a difference unless you are doing forced induction.

Nope depends on the shop, http://www.noyzboyz.com/services plus these guys weld not clamp all their pipes. Normally they charge $600+ for a system but are doing a special for $399 cdn INSTALLED.

Some shops actually clamp the pipes?!

well..my probably is that i didn't feel like spending clost to $500 dollars on an exhaust system , doesnt seem worth it to me for a 1994 saturn wagon, the other annoying thing is that i have to pay for the muffler that comes with these complete kits , and i already have one i would like 2 use. o welt i guess i better start diggin into my pockets...

I'm glad I don't live in the rust belt. My SL2 exhaust cost $200 for 2 1/4" piping installed including a dynomax muffler, and 18" resonator. I took that off of there and got a moroso spiral flow muffler and did a side exit. The muffler costs $50 and they charged $35 to install it w/ the extra piping and hanger.
