    Default Replace or Repair Exhaust System

    Just wondering the opinion of people, got a VX R8. It's got pacemaker extractors, and then standard exhaust onwards. Both the rear mufflers have cracks in them, there is almost no pressure at the tips. Is it worth repairing or the replacing the mufflers? or upgrading the whole system??

    The mufflers by themselves are gonna cost you a hundred or two. For a couple hundred extra you can get a catback system fitted.

    Id take this as a chance to upgrade.

    It's not too hard to fit yourself, 4 bolts, 2 clamps and 6 rubber hangers. I can ship a Manta catback for $690.
