To my knowledge, there are no bolt-on "cat-back" kits...the only pre-fab kits are Dennis's Cobra and the Kooks...I think Stainless Works just makes headers, but I could be wrong there.

PHP was working with Bassani to develop a cat-back system for our cars but when it was going to cost $1000 or more and had ZERO HP gain they canned the program!!:mad:
I begged them to sell me the prototype but they wouldn't and probably just cut it up and sold it for scrap!!:cry:
The real problem is that our OEM system is pretty good....flows well....sounds good and doesn't drone!!:bows: They really couldn't improve on it so they moved on.:cool:

Most of the restriction seems to be in the Manifolds and Cats.....so..... that's all there really is available.

Yep and with the cold air box PHP could claim a power gain while the exhaust did nothing except make more noise which may or may not have been a selling point??:confused:
I would like a bit more rumble but not the DRONE associated with it!!:mad:
I'm leaving mine as is for now.:beer:

Ok second question then, any h or x-pipes that will bolt up to the factory manifolds? Then have custom rear section made of course.

Go Cobra from Dennis or Kooks, you will NOT be disappointed

Yeah I figured their wasn't a aftermarket company that made one but I thought I'd ask. I was just trying to see if I could replace part of the system for now because I am leaning towards doing a turbo setup and don't want to have to pay for headers that I'm only going to use for maybe 4-5months. I guess I will just have a custom system bent from the cats back for now.
Thanks,
Chris

What is that doing on the ground?? Shame on you, that should already be on the car :lol: I'm sure you already have it on and if you do how do you like it?

Just out of curiosity.....why would you go with a turbo setup when the tried and proven Superchargers are available??
I had a Mazda 626 Turbo years ago and had problems with bearings and heat plus I don't think it was intercooled so boost was limited.:cool:

What is your reasoning for wanting an aftermarket Cat-Back?

I like em the day i first drive it.i also have the ceramic coated cobra exhaust manifolds too and ahve changed everything to 2 1/2 " and 18"magnaflows to (Soon to be deleted tips (http://innovativeinterceptors.com/exdress.html))the stock tips..The only problem i've had was the heat sheild fell off one of the cats..

Marauderjack:bandit: Because I've always liked to be different and what way to be different when everyone has or will be getting a s/c than to go with a turbo setup. Especially the shock factor when I pop the hood and show a turbo when everyone that knows most marauder's have a s/c. Plus with the proper tuning and mods I can pull more power out of a turbo than with a s/c which is what I want my end result to be. I know the PTK system isnt intercooled but if I'm going to spend that type of money I will get a local shop that does custom turbo work to get me set up with one. I talked to the shop and they are very eager to get their hands on a turbo marauder and see what kind of milestone they can set. I had them do a custom turbo on my first car which was a 1988 Pontiac Grand Am with the Quad4 engine and I ended up with 328fwhp and 271tq.
