Few questions

i need to know a good High Flow Catalytic Converter thats on the cheap side, and a muffler that sounds alright but inst going to taake me to the cleaners? any ideas?

There's tons. However, it depends on how much you want to spend. There's aluminized stuff that's cheap, and you could just throw a glasspack (Cherry Bomb) on for a muffler. They can be had for around $20 at CT. For the high flow cat, just call around for the cheapest one you can find. Probably be around $80-100

 

If you want to go stainless, it'll cost you.

muffler i was expecting to spend around 150-200

If you're not doing the whole exhaust (all the pipes and everything) there's no need to spend big money on the cat and muffler. If you want to do the whole exhaust, expect to spend 8-900 on a full high flow stainless system.

Check rummitracing.com. I saw a dynomat universal high flow cat for $50. Google will be your friend. I found all sorts very easy (flanged, slip fit, welded, etc), I just can't remember the site names now.

IMO Best bang for buck;

2.25 Magnaflow bolt on cat, found mine on ebay for 70-80 bucks

2" magnaflow stainles muffler(not polished), on summit racing for 80 bucks

had a $5 bolt on flange welded directly to the muffler so it bolts to the cat and a 2" tailppe made to come out just before the rear fenderwell $60 @ the exhaust shop.

they said they'd make me a new 2-2.25" mid pipe (for o2 sensor) that bolts on for another 50 but I held off for now.

 

So full exhaust from my thorley y pipe back cost me(including the mid-pipe I didn't get made)

80+80+5+60+50= $275

not to bad fo full exhaust.

 

I might add that I do not think you need to replace all your pipes when going to the high flow set-up. the less restriction @ the cat & muffler will allow a much higher velocity of exhaust gass to go thru the stock pipes. Increasing diameter does reduce restiction to an extent but also increases volume which reduces velocity. the trade off is where it locates your torque band.

i got a magnaflow cat for $75 and a flowmaster 50 series for $140. I got the cat from partsource and the shop that installed it bought the muffler for me.
