We all know my mufflers are Jimmy-rigged to my car and they look very poor.

Well, now the right side is hanging to the point where I just can't leave it like this any longer.

So I have 2 options and I need some opinions.

1. Go to a junkyard and pull the cat-back off a GT/GTP, cutting it off so I still have the flange for the u-bend delete. I will have to cut off the mufflers and do all that crap again. It will probably cost between $70-$100

2. Buy a ZZP 3" stainless cat-back with a new res and no muffs or tips. It's a bigger, louder exhaust and will hang like OEM (at least on the pass. side it will, I have an SE) However, I wonder if 3" is just too much. Total price somewhere around $400-$450.

Go Turbo!

But if you do plan on mods and fixing this exhaust mise well do it right and get the D/P. Most say 3".

I say go to the junkyard and get a catback and a bumper off of a GT/GTP. That would look MUCH better. IMO.

Since you're not really wanting to mod anymore that's what I would do.

20gtp02, I just got a P-log and 2.5" DP w/ cat.

It's just hangin real bad by the bumper.

It's going to be tough finding a bumper methinks.

How do I get it painted to match my car and whats a reasonable price for the bumper?

x2, I was just about to say that. That is, of course, if you can't find one at your local junkyard.

Aren't Ed's bumpers like $500+? That's a bit more than I was hoping for.

His bumper covers are quite cheap.

I don't even think the stealer charges over $200.

Just thinking, if a bumper is $500, then we would be rinding in a High end luxury car. (You can add in your luxury car, I didn't want to be bias!)
