Default *HELP* CAT back for 2nd Gen sharks

Does anyone sell a entire from header back to exhaust piping? DAMN shop raised the price from 70.00-80.00 to 150.00-175.00 once he saw my car. And that was with out even looking under neith it. I guess having a nice car means you can afford any price. BASTARD! Any ways..I know of the speedstate CAT-back system. But thats for 1st gen correct? Will a 1st gen cat-back work? I dont need the exhaust (I have a Apexi N1)just the piping. I went to a local "performance shop" and he said he wouldnt work on my car...as it's not a "muscle" car, so it would be pointless to install cat-back. I was going to get this done today...but I guess not now. HELP

I have the shark 421 and had a shop put a custom exhaust 2.25" with two high flow cats and flowmaster muffler - cost me about $500!

If you want it right, expect to spend about $1000 with header and all.

I know the speedstate cat will fit a 2000 shark, but I've heard rumors that it might not fit the 2001. Any truth to that?

I have been to the MBRP factory where Speedstate gets their exhausts and can say that they have systems that will fit the 2000+ Tibs. They are slightly different or maybe the same. Not sure. Last time they had my car in there they were using it to test fit a revised exhaust set-up.

I even landed my azz in their catalogue. wink.gif

Doesn't Steven Oen from Speedstate have a MBRP Catback on his 2000 Tib?
I could be wrong.
I'll ask him tomarrow about the Catback if I have time.
