Fitted New CZ Mid-P-4 (Random Cat + Resonator) + Magnaflow tips
I fitted my CZ Mid-P-4 (Random Cat + Resonator) + some Magnaflow tips, and here are the pics.
No problems fitting the exhaust, but we did strip the theads on the O2 sensor getting it out of the old Cat (as it was cross-threaded) and I needed to purchase a new one.
The exhaust has a cleaner sound with a slight rumble at idle, but is no louder than stock. Not at-all.
When it revs, it's much nicer, and you can get it to pop after giving it some.
As for extra power. I think it has a little; but I am always pesimistic about this stuff. I have noticed that I am driving predominantly in lower gears now as the car is more fun. :D
Personally, I think it could do with being a little bit louder.
Still, I think my 4" magnaflow tips look pretty good. As good as a lot of the catbacks out there (I think). :p
I went the tips route, because I think there is nothing wrong with the stock catback system, and I didn't want my car to be too loud with the CZ Cat + midpipe. But with the new CZ one (bigger resonator) I'm sure it wont be a problem because IMO they have solved the "too much noise" issue. :p

Update. The exhaust/cat must have burnt off the protective coating now. It's still no louder than stock at idle, but it's more revvey and crisper sounding. Very nice. :D
It give me looks when I want it to, but not when I don't. Exactly what I wanted... :D
