Default Custom dual cat-back installed on my FWD ->

I finally got to install the dual cat-back. It's 60mm with 100mm slash-cut tips. The gain in performance is noticeable as it pulls a lot stronger now. That's something I didn't really expect (at least to that degree) as the car's *still* stock.

Here's a pic of the door waiting for the new panel to be installed as well, which will accommodate the dual 6.5" speakers along with a 4" Beyma tweeters. I'm telling you it sounds awesome! Will post more pics soon.

So where did you have it made? Is it very loud?

Default No, not loud at all. Just a deeper roar when accelerating.

I had it built and installed at an exhaust shop here in Greece. It's not really that hard to make it, just a 4 hrs labor for the piping, provided that the muffler is ready.

Default Tips were supplied by a manufacturer I think.

Everything else was custom made. I didn't get the last question though. My english is not that good yet

"How much did it cost?" (pardon my colloquialism...)

I figured you meant that, but it was just too late...

The whole story cost me exactly 400 euros (a little more than 500$). Quite a price compared to the kits sold by manufacturers. And the quality or the final result is perfect. I have serious doubts wether those kits are worth the extra money, especially after hearing about all those fitting problems etc. While this way, you can have the exhaust system you want, the way you want it to be.

Default I was guessing it was a great deal - good for you, for going that way!

I may try it myself, now that I see your success. Just COULD NOT justify the - I think it was nearly $1500+ for the Milletk version - and even that wasn't available in the US, so shipping, plus the uncertainty factor, killed the idea for me.
