Hey all,
My name's Andrew and I joined the forum a while back as I was researching the s chassis and figuring out how I was gonna buy one. Stuff happened, and I ended up picking up a Mazda 6 as my daily because I needed something right then. Now thankfully, I've saved up enough money and bought an s13 to have as my project, and I'm stoked. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170226/9e2f7fc61f6d62f9d6f5c569ce174c06.jpg

The first thing (other than respraying the rims and a couple other bits) that I'm tackling is the exhaust. The previous owner has a set of long tube headers on the stock ka24de, with a gutted cat, straight through mid pipe (no resonator) and a set of ISR blast pipes. The car is pretty obnoxious at the moment, and although it's fun to play with I want to get something that's less offensive. I don't have the money for a full cat back system and eBay stuff is kinda sketching me out, so I want to do something custom. In reading online and talking to some guys I know locally I think that a good resonator in the mid pipe would take it down enough seeing as I'm not dailying it yet. I was wondering what the concencus here was on whether that's a viable option or not.
Thanks a bunch guys!
