Install performance muffler now? - 2/6/2005 4:16:23 PM    Maximus99 Posts: 177 Joined: 2/5/2005 Status: offline Would it be a waste of money to put some kind of higher flow muffler on now,or wait until I can afford to upgrade to at least a cat-back system later? If I got one now,is there a direct bolt-up to the stock location & size? And also,the 99 Galant has an unknown maintenance record to me...at what point should have the cat been changed out? I have quite a few miles on it. I'd like a high flow version of it too! Thanks Post #: 1

The 8G already has stock at 2.5 piping so I wouldn't go any bigger than that. At this time there is not a manufacter that makes a complete catback anyway for the 8G so you might was well settle for a nice muffler and have a shop custom bend some pipes for you. As far as the cat is concerned I don't think it needs to be changed at anytime. At least it wasn't something that I have looked into to much. As far as a high flow cat it will mess with your emmisions so keep that in mind. (in reply to Maximus99) Post #: 2

I know there are some pretty expensive ones,but whats the best deal 4 the cash? I'm just realizing,it looks like parts for a Mitsubishi rival some of the Corvette parts I've run across on my C3 transformation...expensive,but with less results _____________________________ '99 Galant V6 GTZ,Kalapana black;'79 Corvette L-82 350ci,Dk.red;'78 Cutlass Supreme,350ci,Med.blue; '84 El Camino Conquista (in reply to Prophet) Post #: 3

RE: Install performance muffler now? - 4/14/2005 2:09:06 PM    Maximus99 Posts: 177 Joined: 2/5/2005 Status: offline Thanks for the help guys,I will check around locally for prices on a mandrel bent system,& 2.5" is the way to go for the V6, right? I wonder if buying the muffler online and paying shipping would be about the same as getting it local w/o shipping? Guess I have to make some calls.... _____________________________ '99 Galant V6 GTZ,Kalapana black;'79 Corvette L-82 350ci,Dk.red;'78 Cutlass Supreme,350ci,Med.blue; '84 El Camino Conquista (in reply to wicked_outlander) Post #: 8
