Hey Guys,
Here's another exhaust question that may of been covered before.
I am looking to change out the exhaust on my 2.2 1996 Brighton wagon. 223,000 miles and a little rusty looking. I know I'm not going to gain alot of hp but would like to get something for my $. I'm looking to add the boxer rumble, my car sounds like any old four cylinder honda, toyota, not a Subaru.
If I do headers, cat (can't delete, emissions) and cat-back, which order should I do them if I do one at a time? Start with headers and work back or start with cat-back and work forward? I've been reading all the posts here related to the exhaust and checking out the sites for bosal, borla, stromung etc. Who has the best set up without spending alot of dough? Bolt on is nice so I can do it myself.
All sugestions gladly accepted.
Captain

It honestly doesn't matter where you start. The only possible downside is that I've heard many stock exhaust systems don't sound that great when you add an aftermarket UEL header. Makes them kind of rattle. I put on an EL catless header on my stock exhaust because the stock manifolds were leaking, and it sounds practically stock, only slightly louder.
