Paul67 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Does anyone have any recommendations for a fairly cheap and quiet replacement cat back exhaust system, possibly 2.25mm stainless steel? Barring in mind it's only a 1.4 MB2, so only looking for something with about a 3" tailpipe. I just rang my local longlife supplier and they want £299 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul67 Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 Standard non stainless are about £35-£40 per section, but I see some Toyosports stainless cat back systems on ebay for about £150 - £170... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
civicturbo79 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 £300 for a custom exhaust system is about right , but be careful as they tend to use mild steel and cut the flanges off your old system to make the new one up , make sure you ask they are making you a full new system from stainless steal .

Paul67 Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Cheers Rich. The last civic I owned I had for eight years and I replaced 2 back boxes and 1 mid section during that time. The only reason I'd go for stainless steel on my current 1.4 MB2 would be because it would last longer than mild steel and therefore be cost effective at the right price - but not a £300! If it was a a VTI I would go for it for the extra hp, but it seems any gains on a 1.4 would be negligible and therefore pointless. Unless I can find something recommended by others for less than £200 it looks like I will stick with the standard mild steel replacements.
