Motoria is a full catback with a resonator as well. Once you add cheap headers it will start to buzz!

 

I have a Motoria cat-back, ...love the sound.
It has a real nice low grunt tone, then a serious ROAR if your WOT (It does sound like a CAI)
Since I have both the CAI, and cat-back , it roars from the front and back now , lol smile.gif
It's great.

no rattles, or buzzing. wink1.gif

 

<_< Wonder how they manage to get the Motoria 2.5inch mandrel exhausts made so cheap considering the price most mandrel benders charge, even if you have it setup for them to do a lot of exhausts in bulk.

 

KRD, Moteria and OBX are all cheap, as far as mandrel bent exhaust go. They probably have the labor done in some third world country where labor is cheap or buy the materials in bulk

They are actually 2.4" on the outside.

 

Stainless steel isn't too expensive, and I could see how they could get that cheap. However, do you know how much a 2.5inch mandrel bender costs? We're talking above a million dollars. And 9 year old children in sweat shops can't build 2.5inch mandrel benders. lol.gif

 

My young friend, it's not the third world countries or people that live there that buy the machines, it's the companys that move there for cheap labor that bring the machines with them..it's done all the time. smile.gif ..Ok enough off topic

 

lol this got way off topic, but any ways. i wsa thinking about having a local shop do the piping and then puttin on an apexi muffler...

Apexi N1 Universal NA Exhaust Muffler with 60mm inlet and 90mm tip (156-A008)

how is that one?

 

i say get a resonator/glasspack with it. You will be happy with the sound smile.gif

 

If you get the Apexi N1, I would glasspack it. It sounds ricey on 95% of cars without a resonator/glasspack, or both.
