Does no one make a complete cat-back anymore for the 2000-2001 US Tib?!

Default Does no one make a complete cat-back anymore for the 2000-2001 US Tib?!

Man, I cannot seem to find a simple bolt up cat-back system for my car now (2000 Tib for those who don't know me)...I really don't want to spend the $$ for a full stainless though (yeah, I'm a cheap *** , and I've had the car for almost 4 years now and 91k miles).

I would prefer 2.5" diameter tubing, but will settle for 2.25" for a decent set up...any help is greatly appreciated!

Oh yeah...has anyone done a dyno comparo on all of the available intakes...I know there was discussion and plans for this to happen, but I ended up dropping out of the scene for a while so I don't know what or if this happened.

Well, for the Catback, check out Speedstates, I think it's got the best sound and it's the one I'm planning on.

Speedstate...

As for the intakes...

Kores is hard to find, a few folks have them, but I don't think it's been dyno'd.

SR's intake... poke

AWOL...

AEM has been dynoe'd and you can get the dyno at their site.

Injen's is expensive, I'd never buy it.

AOS's is nice, but doesn't get the coolest air, it's best for the Revision A 1997 tib's.

There are some others on Ebay claiming 20 HP gains and such, but no dyno's to back them up.

Personally, I was gonna get the SR one, but since it's STILL not done, I got the AEM and am happy.

I'll check out SpeedState.

I have the Kore's original cold air intake (have had it for almost three years now), and would like to get a new one because the tubing is pretty banged up now where it has banged against the battery tray.

Thanks for the info...anyone else have any ideas?

Well, on the CAI front, what's your goal?

Performance or looks?

Performance. Looks are nice, but I prefer performance. smile.gif

I checked out SpeedState...that's more than I want to pay at this point for an exhaust...I priced out a muffler, so I think I will go with just that since I already have 2.25" mandrel bent piping on the car anyway.

Very nice, good intake. I bought mine off ebay for around $190 shipped.

I too am planning on the MBRP catback from Speedstate. I like the sound of it (not ricey), and it's made of top grade materials. There is always the Pacesetter suicide

The Speedstate is DEFINATELY worth the wait. The sound of that sucker...

*Sigh*

Exactly what I want.

pacesetter makes a dirt cheap $299 cat back, other than that, you're stuck waiting for KORE or MBRP (speedstate).

For CAI's, there's been no CAI Dyno shootout. Since so many intakes have come and gone off the market, and still waiting for some, it keeps getting pushed back.

Is the Pacesetter any good?

Quality wise?
