    It seems like cat back's are ridiculously expensive. Is it worth it to have the extra 1/4". If not, I could just weld in some mufflers and put some tips on it.

    Exhaust threads are usually focused around ... NOISE :)

    Of course ... We always want to gain ... More POWER :banana:

    I won't even get into the noise thing :nono:

    We all have our idea of what sounds ... Good or Bad :D

    As for power ... and ... More specifically

    A mod that yields good power for the buck spent :spot:

    Exhaust mods suck :eek:

    A catback on a stock or bolt on Stang .........
    Well ... it is gonna give very little if any gain in power :(

    To get a real noticeable power gain with a catback :nice:

    The change would have to be really radical :eek:
    like
    A Stang with well over 300 moving from OEM to high performance CB

    Now ... If you got some long term plans that include mucho power :shrug:

    I'd be concerned about what you are doing at this time
    but
    If you just wanna do something that sounds better

    Weld in some muffs that you think would make you happy :nice:

    better yet

    Copy from another Stanger who has got something that sounds good ;)

    so would a 2.5 sound that much different than 2.25? I never even thought about it changing the sound......

    More simply put :D

    A complete CB or just welding in some muffs :shrug:

    One or the other ........
    ain't gonna make enough difference ... power wise ... to matter

    I'd say no. You might be able to tell if both are dumped.


    2.5" vs. 3" seemed to bring on a different tone....

    but nothing earth shattering. Just minor differences...
