Budget Catback
I don't have a lot of money to spend at all so i need the least expensive catback that will give me power. Running headers with reducer and just flowmaster isn't going to work for me anymore. Thanks in advance.

Hooker catback is a cheap setup. The only problem you will find with most cheaper catbacks is that they are not stainless steel. If you live in an area where rust is prominent, it will get the best of your catback system.

Yeah, I really do want a catback instead of a cutout, I don't think im ballsie enough to run open headers all the time. Where can i find the cheapest prices on the hooker if that's what everyone will recomend.

I don't think that you will be running open headers w/ a cut out. I wasn't able to get a cut out installed b4 the cat b/c of the lack of room. Thus, the exaust will be going through the cat. Unless you gen down on it it won't be too terribly loud. You can't go wrong w/ the $30.00 cut out.
............but anyways.....back to the cut-out, couldnt you just put it after the cat and before the muffler.........what would be wrong with this?

There is nothing wrong with it. That is the EXACT same thing i have been doing! And it is definately quieter than open headers!! i drove my car to the muffler shop with open headers and it was loud!!!!!!! The cutout is just a little bit louder than a borla with no plate. And it cost me only 50 bucks or so. For me a cutout is the ONLY way to go. It gives you the most power and its the loudest. Thats just my $.02 though.
