Question about exhaust
Hey all. I have the opportunity to buy a decent looking exhaust (probably a no name) for about $40 to test out. Problem is it was sawed off from the flange of the exhaust pipe back. Question is can I buy the piece that bolts to the y pipe or just cut off the old one and weld it on?

Good advice from Mic and it probably bears repeating: if you're looking for a power increase from this exhaust alone, forget it. It's been proven time and again, bolt-ons (either intake or exhaust) will not produce much more than a different tone. You may actually LOSE hp/tq with an exhaust that doesn't have enough backpressure. Rather than spend $40 on a no-name Craigslist exhaust, do more research and save up for the exhaust you REALLY want and then tune the VQ to get some better gains.
