Default Catback

gathering intell on catbacks, my local exhaust expert tells me that not only can he turn my toyota camry sounding SS into a V8 sounding SS, but he also claims that it will increase power (not that it needs it) by as much as 15% but also improve economy, all this for about $580.00. sounds to good to be true, but he offers me full refund and refitting original system if i am not happy with it!
hmmmmmmmmm...............

Be careful you dont get caught up in the sound of it, and forget about what the purpose is.

Cheers

Its pretty hard to make the VX SS sound worse than factory, so I'd go for it

Make sure he uses mandrel bends and straight thru mufflers.
the factory exhaust chokes them it will gain power and sound like a 8 should.
