Exhaust options for $1k or less?

Connors5453 · 06-24-2019, 10:00 PM

Anyone have better alternatives than a 6000$ Akra exhaust?

DanG · 06-24-2019, 10:14 PM

I love my M Performance exhaust.

How much are those going for? Want to sell it?😂

New? For $1k?

You’re looking at used for that price, even then, doubt it.

Edit: Megan racing has one for your price, new. Can’t speak to quality/sound though.

That's why I'm asking because I can't seem to find anything reasonably priced so I'm seeing other options...

One watch out, the Megan option looks like it’ll delete the valves. Just looking at the pictures, but maybe someone who owns it can chime in.

Dinan Resonator Delete... less than $400 installed.
Ok, kind of a cute answer. But that's what I have.
If I were to do a full exhaust, it would probably be Remus.

Any idea on how a resonator delete would change the sound?

Aggressive!
Subtle while cruising.
Thrilling with more right foot.
Just this side of pissing off the neighbors at cold start.

Why not just get sport cat down pipe or catless, that can be had for 1k.

Not a bad idea!

I didn't have a large budget for mods right after I took delivery but I wanted a better sounding exhaust. I ended up getting a sportcat, resonator delete, and some aftermarket tips. For ~$1500 It's a great bang for your buck:

Once I had more money available I got a full catback system but that initial set up was fantastic for how little it cost.
