Well if it's cheap and quality, it's probably not going to offer anything in performance . If it's quality and performance, it sure as hell ain't going to be cheap .

Such things do exist.
I run an Open Flash Header connected to a Manzo catback exhaust and I could not be happier. The whole goal of modding these cars really is to get rid of the torque dip. And this is one relatively inexpensive step in the process. I got the Manzo for like $350 with free shipping and the OFH was less than $500. A real good first step is to get a tune. I don't want to be an advertisement but check out the Open Flash Tablet. You won't be sorry. |

Ten years later and I'm still happy as hell with this cheap ass pos setup. I had to replace the Manzo resonator about 6 years ago but learned how to weld in the process. I was just running with a 5 liter mustang the other day playing music to each other and I swear our cars sounded exactly alike. I've had so many complements over the years about the sound of my car. Everyone says it sounds so powerful. All I can say is Thanks. But, you know.

I also run the old Open Flash header, but paired with an HKS Hi-Power SpecL catback.
I absolutely love it, sounds amazing, no drone, not too loud, not too quite, doesn't sound like a fart canned Honda. |

Best bang for buck catback is probably used gen 2 OEM. Removes what tiny restriction it has and keeps it quiet. I have one in the stash should I ever decide to the CSG touring is too loud.
