have an exhaust question....please help
i went to a local muffler place and asked if they could "custom" build me and exhaust for my 8......the aftermarket ones online are just too expensive for no hp gains........when i went to talk to them, they refused to do it, because they said that these cars have a backpressure issue, and if you do an exhaust and don't get the back pressure right.....it will hurt the cars performance ????
anyone know of this ????
thanks

i've been to these guys several times for the different cars i've owned....and they are really good......but the first thing they asked was that it had the rotory right ?

Somewhat disagree. I had my exhaust off completely for a few days and noticed the lack of back pressure. It was like I pressed on the gas but didn't have anything behind me pushing me. I don't think it's rocket science as to what type of custom exhaust you need, I think any exhaust will help with the back pressure. I don't think you need a special one. Go to a different shop.

Maybe they were confused and thought you had a turbo. If so, they probably didn't want to run the risk of detonating your engine.

if u want sound... just changing the muffler can do that and would be much cheaper.
i think i saw on a midas commercial about them doing full cat backs for like 200 dollars :D mayb theyll do it on the 8?
