Talking New catback question. . .

So I am going to get a new exhaust this week and I was wondering. . .
I was thinking about picking up a Cobb from LIC (if they have one in stock)
but I was also thinking about getting a custom one welded up the a flowmaster muffler or something.

Should I just go with the Cobb or get a custom one and does anyone know of a shop that makes custom catbacks in Marin??

any info would be great.

Thanks.

Looks like you have been around for awhile, have you listened to many other subies?

When I picked my exhaust I went to a couple of meets and hung out at my local shop for a little bit and listened to a few exhausts, and picked the one I wanted.

I have never personally seen or heard a flowmaster hooked up to a subie bit it sounds like it would be cool.

I would go with the cobb as it is made for our cars, but it depends on what sound and look you are going for.

If you want a stock looking exhaust that has a nice tone/sound, the Cobb is a great option.

aaahhh yes g oto a meet and listen to the different exhausts out there to pick the one you want.

I used to have an hks carbon TI which is on the louder side, and looks like a watermelon launcher. I now run a Borla hush which is a little quieter and looks more stock.

its all personal preference
