rovers north sales the NRP exhaust sytems. this can be bought with a "performance Cat..." Y header. its a bit costly from them and could proberly be sourced from somewhere else at a better price, but i am curious as to anyones experence with the system. i am due for a complete replacement of my exsisting pipes and would be curious as to anyones thoughts.

one word......Midas!! $250 and you can spend the extra $$ on.......well you decide. sure it doesn't sound as bad ass as the NRP and you don't get the extra 5 HP, but i was happy with my Midas system on my '94 i had years ago.
just didn't see the overwhelming necessity to spend the big $$ on it.

Garrett,
Did you do just the muffler and pipe or did you do the whole system with cats and Y pipe? |

from the cat back including muffler/resonator. kept the cats and Y pipe. hell those Y pipes cost mucho bucks. summit racing sells cats for about $60 though. |

So if I need the cats and Y pipe, the NRP would still be the way to go? |

I cant comment on the NRP cat back setup but I have one of the NRP Y-pipes. They do very nice work. It fits much more snug and raises the cats out of harms way a bit. Plus it has a nice triple Y design that flows a bit better than stock...but not enough to go out of your way to get one. My cats were wasted and the stock Y-pipe had some cracks and dents so I decided to just spend the $ for the NRP pipe. Of course, a good muffler shop can hook you up for much less, but the NRP stainless stuff is nice if you want to drop the dough on it. |

oh, if you want the NRP stuff, just get it from them direct:

like dave said if you want to spend the $$. otherwise any local pipe shop can set you up nice. just get the cats at summit and your local shop can do the rest. some folks just use a straight pipe instead of the cats. that is of course if you live in an area where emmission testing is not done. |

yeah - either get it directly from NRP, or just source it locally at a good muffler shop.
I bought the NRP cat-back, as I had just had my cats and cracked y-pipe replaced under warranty. Now, if I had it to do over, I would have just had the entire system done at a local shop and use a cheaper flowmaster setup for the cat-back, and a good custom job for a set of stainless y-pipes with some high-flow cats. Would have cost less than all NRP, and after running it off-road for a bit, I wouldn't have known the difference.
--but-- having said all that, NRP - nice product if money isn't the issue.

I have the NRP exhaust from the cat back and i love it. It has a nice deep growl and was easy to install.
I justified it by looking at how long i plan to keep the machine (until it dies) and figured it would balance out and be nicer to have the NRP reather than replace a steel setup every few years. |
