What do you guys think about the corksport cat back system for the fc3? Its a single exit 3" diameter stainless cat back. 4" tip. 329 including shipping from Corksport.com

it looks decent to me.

Loud? yes sir!



Have you considered the ones from ebay? (ssautochrome)

I have it on my 89 gxl NA. It sounds good right now, some people say it's loud but I don't think it really is. I've heard that if you get a high flow cat and or headers then it will get very loud. But i'm happy with it and I have stock cat and headers.

it will definitely be loud if you have a header/midpipe combo. On my friend's 86 GXL, it was loud enough that we could hear it idle a mile away down my (country) road. On my TII, it was quiet, but it will definitely be loud on an N/A. Sound quality is excellent in my opinion, and it's hard to beat, bang for the buck.

Yeah it's great if you have stock header and cat. I want to get a high flow cat but I want to hear it on somebody else's car before I do. The only problem I had at first was when I installed it, it was touching on the cutout on my bumper cover and would melt some paint when i started the car, but all I had to do was bend a couple hangers and now it it close but doesn't bubble the paint or anything. It fits really snug and doesn't wiggle around like many other cars.

I have the corksport on my 88 TII and an Apexi setup on my 88 n/a, and I think the Apexi is much better. It sounds much better and I'm also getting discoloration on the corksport after only one year. I know the corksdport is cheaper, but you get what you pay for.

Actually a high flow cat will make it A LOT quieter. header on the other hand, LOUD!

i had that catback. i had that with a magnaflow highflow cat, and pacesetter header. in my opinion i liked it. it may have discolored a little but it does serve its purpose. at cruise i couldnt hear it at all. you can learn how to drive it quiet. i actually just sold mine on ebay for 185. that ssautochrome is basically the same thing i think except it doesnt have a corksport badge welded on the side of the tip. i loved the sound in decceleration while still in gear. it had this nice sounding gurgle. DONT get the silencer. it doesnt really quiet it too much. and it sounds like **** with it in. its a high pitched brap brap brap sound. later

Your are the one in vineland? I wanted your catback soo bad, I went to buy it now and to my dissapointment the auction already ended https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif . I was the one asking you for directions from levittown.

On my case, the exhaust is louder if the high flow cat is in place than if the borla XR1 is in place https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif
