Default exhaust question

I have been looking at the slp loudmouth 1 catback which has 2 1/2" pipes, 3 1/2" tips, and of course the mufflers.

I saw someone selling the mufflers for 140 for both (he will tale 120). My question is, except for the tips, what's the difference between the stock (2 1/2") pipes with these mufflers, compaired to the compete catback.?

I don't know exactly which items you're talking about, but the differences are only going to be cosmetic. Obviously, like you said the tips are going to be different. Also, the stock pipes are probably not going to be polished stainless steel like the catback is.

However, as far as sound goes, it should be pretty close to identical.

It's definitely the way to go. That's how I did my exhaust. You really don't need name brand pipes.

Not sure about the diameter of the stock pipe, but they will sound pretty much the same minus the polished tips like said before.

The difference is that our stock piping is 2 1/4" not 2 1/2"
