    Good deal on exhaust system?

    Hey guys, I have an opportunity to get an Alphawerks catback exhaust. My stock exhaust is a bit rusted underneath with a hole or two. The Alphawerks is only about a hundred bucks, but it's made for a sedan and I've got a wagon. Would it be worth it to get the Alphawerks and have it bent and fit for my wagon? It seems like a good deal to me considering the price for a brand new exhaust, etc.

    Let me know what you guys think. Thanks!

    *Edit*
    I updated the name of this thread and asked a few questions in my most recent post below. Thanks!

      i'd buy it asap. figure just a stock mid pipe is around $80-$95. shouldnt be too difficult to fit to a wagon.

        Thanks guys. I'm making a big trip down to Kansas City on Sunday to pick up a bunch of accord93racer's stuff from his to-be-junked sedan, and this is one of the main things I'm going down there for. I just wanted to make sure it wouldn't be a waste of a trip, only to have someone say "this won't work for your wagon."

          The pics looked good. He said it wasn't on his car long at all. The chrome looked like it might have a little bit of oxidation on it, but it could've just been dirty. Either way, nothing a little bit of Mother's Chrome Polish wouldn't take care of I'm sure.

            Alright guys, I got the exhaust last week. It's basically brand new, not a scratch on it.

            Now, I also got a Catco high-flow cat-converter too (since he had it and I was there). The entire system starting with the cat all the way back is 2.5". My motor is 100% stock, and I plan on keeping it fairly stock except for basic bolt-ons because of the high mileage (284k).

            19dabeast85 has an awesome flexpipe eliminator. See it somewhere on this page I'm just trying to fit this all together in my head and ask you guys if it will all work well (well being the key word). Coming off of the stock down pipe, would dabeast's piece into the cat, into the Alphawerks be a good combo?

            Also, I live in Illinois and my car is no longer tested for emissions. Could I benefit/suffer from eliminating the cat altogether?
