Alright men (or boys, or women, or whoever is reading), I have a question that I hope can get answered quickly.
I'm looking at Catback Exhaust systems for my 2006 Eclipse GS (2.4 4cyl) and a thought popped in my head. Instead of buying a brand new exhaust system, couldn't I buy a top brand (Magnaflow, Flowmaster, etc) Catalytic Converter and Muffler, and fit them with the stock piping? Or would i have to replace ALL the piping?
I have come to understand that our stock exhaust system ("our" meaning the GSers on this forum) is very restrictive due to meeting EPA standards. Is it our piping thats restrictive or everything; including the CC, Muffler, and Resonator.
So my main question comes to this: would it be more cost efficient and time-saving to purchase the aftermarket Catalytic Converter and Muffler and delete the resonator and leave my stock piping, OR just say **** it and buy the full exhaust system.
Thanks for your time!
