exhaust quest...

hey guys here is an idea that im gonna do for my exhuast...i dont have much money to
spend for a good one so i thought of making one for myself. Remove my stock system
and trace it out on a template of cardboard, buy a 3 straight pipe from a automotive store
thats about 8ft long then have it mandrel bent to match the template. I would then add a
silencer muffler to the end. Yes this would be illegal (b/c removal of the cat), but i think
this would produce the most power with a lower cost. what do you guys think? am i
missing anything? (fyi - id probably paint the tube with high temp paint for added heat
protection)

One thing u might want to be careful of is the size of your pipe. Ive been told you wont have enuf back pressure with a 3" unless u have turbo. I could be wrong but i would check that out.

Don't forget to get hook ups welded to the tube, unless you want to just tie it up with a piece of string
