I'm pretty sure they only had them for the 1.8. Would you be willing to visit a local muffler place and have them quote you a SS catback? There are a few out there for our 2.8s but our engine is not as special and high up there like the precious 1.8s...Ohhh ahhhh. Bow to your Sensei! Kidding to the one eighters

custom only, but you can make an exhaust just as nice for less.

My suggestion would be go to an exhaust shop. Tell them hey look, I need you guys to create a catback system for my car. You guy buy the mufflers and have them fitted onto piping. Essentially thats all a catback system is.. 3" piping or whatever from the "cat-back" to the muffler. Shouldnt be too expensive if you can find a nice shop.

well, most mufflers will come with tips already on them. Find out the muffler that you want, and the diameter of piping. The shop "should" have all of the piping there already, if not, you need to order it. Call ahead and setup an appointment. Be straight forward with them. "I need this, this, and this done." Ask around to a few different shops if you've got a few around you. I know theres this little, *no offense to any mexicans here* but there's this cheap *** little shop owned by these mexican guys, that my God, the service is amazing, and the prices are cheap! See if you can find one of those around you lol. But in all reality, order your muffler now, get the piping at the shop if you can. Or.. if they quote you too much, order the piping and muffler together, and just have them do the labor. Good luck man
