Failed attempt at new muffler

Won't you get a better system when buying from a company like F.I or Stillen since they have done many hours of testing on the design

Every bend, every weld, add 'em all up and you should get a better system than a one-off made at a local shop, no?

Certainly you get something that has been tested and proven, but I think most good exhaust shops should be able to custom fab a quality system.

I think the biggest difference between a custom job and one of the already designed and proven systems is that with the latter you know what you are getting. It almost doesn't make any sense to have a custom system done when there are so many pre-built ones tailor made to this car.

Or if you want something that isn't currently available on the market like a 2-1 with a fat 3.5 center pipe.

Completely agree. And I should also state that there is no reason somebody who is a real craftsman could not make a custom build that outperformed the rest....
