You got hosed.

First you got here: http://www.mandrelexhaustsystems.com/servlet/StoreFront

Then buy a ws2 muffler for about 200. When people sell em on ebay you can often "make an offer" a buddy of mine got his ws2 for 200 shipped.

hosed? lets break this down:

1. 120 for their crappy mild steel, 200 for their stainless. + shipping = 220

2. a WS2 muffler is NOT 200, more like 300 with shipping. Not to mention its "universal" so it won't be custom fit for the CB7 chassis.

3. You're still missing a resonator, Add 100 for a good quality one that the Apexi comes with.

4. How much to weld up all that? About 150 with flanges, gaskets, hangers and hardware.

What do you end up with?

I'll prefer to pay my 505 for my bolt on Apexi WS2 with a factory warranty, that'll come with all the hardware that I can install in my driveway thank you very much.

I bought mine a few years ago for 500 from OptionImports.com and got free shipping through DHL. I was so impatient that i even made a thread on here asking about them because i've never used them before.

well after looking for the website again, it seems like they went out of business because the website domain is available.

I feel like the WS2 shrinks down real small at some point. I would go crush bent custom.

DO NOT buy from this place....I should've done my research prior, they called me back saying their website price was an "old price" and the new price would be 650. So i had them not charge my CC and cancel the order.

I'm not saying this happens all the time, but those "performance cats" and the like have a tendency to catch on fire because they don't last very long as Deev said. I learned that lesson the hard way. I had just had my H22 retuned for more power around this time last year and hit the strip that weekend against a Mustang and then BOOM. If the fire department had gotten there any later I would'nt be an active member here anymore. If you're going to replace your cat, go OEM or get a straight pipe of similar quality.

Was an egt (exhaust gas temperature) sender used with a wideband o2 by the tuner? Without an egt, your exhaust temps might have been un-naturally high. Also if you were running too rich it can cause problems.

Yea a ws2 is easily had for 200-220. Ebay, make an offer, talk to a seller. You kids don't know anything these days. If you pay retail for anything, your an idiot. Welding flanges on is cake. If you go to a shop and they charge you that.much for 5 welds and you pay it, again an idiot.

ws2, piping, a vibrant xq 18"resonator, with all hardware flanges and gaskets needed was right at 550-570 WITH shipping. I also guarantee I had a better fitment on the exhaust, and after it was assembled it got sanded and painted.

Mild steel is alumalized anyways, what are you crying about.

Cat delete 1 resi and a ws2 is all ya need. So quiet. Vibrant also.makes a ws2-like muffler, im sure its good enough for what the OP was looking for. Fucking ws2 is a big ole tank though. Kinda hard to position up to get tack welds on it without a lift.
