Default Exhaust Options on non turbo 230F

Yes you can delet the resinator, but it will get louder.
IPD made a high flow exhaust for the non turbos from the trubo exhaust (Click Here)

Saw that one. Are they just stock parts with an adapter from the pipe out of the Converter? because if they are, the individual parts would be cheaper than IPD's price.... right? Or am I missing something.

Maybe? not sure on pricing for the 240, but $199 is not that bad? I would assume that you could just swap out the rear muffler with a turbo one and just get a straight pipe for the middle muffler. Same as IPD.
Or if you dont want the drone in the car, you could put a muffler where the resinator is and just put a pipe out the back.

You can delete the cat if you wanted to bank on emissions not checking for it. But I think what you're asking has more to do with a cheaper option than IPD's setup? Maybe....though TIPSP's right. $199 for a fitted mandrel bent 2 1/4" pipe and high flow single baffle muffler isn't bad at all. I don't think Pacesetter even has that kind of price.

You might be able to save some money by using the OEM 2" piping instead of 2 1/4". It won't do you much good anyway because the down pipe to the cat will still be 2" If it were me, I'd find a high flow catalytic converter, high flow muffler and a shop that'll put it all together for me with 2" mandrel bent pipe.

i deleted the resonator cuz i needed a catback, it has a semi rasp tone, but doesn't sound bad at all. I only did it because i didnt want to pay for something i didnt really need ie the resonator

Went with the stock cat back with resonator from eEuroparts mainly because of price (a buck thirty shipped to my door) Starla muffler, resonator, axle pipe and tail pipe etc. and all hardware included. and I know it will fit.
Maybe next time I'll go with the Turbo Muffler etc.
