Default aftermarket exhaust

my mufflar is starting to rust through and leak (gonna need one by next inspection) so i thought it would be a perfect time for a cat back exhaust upgrade, but i've looked on a few websites and can not find any listings for a 99 bonneville sle, id liked to avoid and mufflar shops because i can do any work myself cause i work in a garage and i have access to a lift , tourches, welder...ect...does anyone have any suggestions on where i can order custom exhaust online, or even autopart stores...thanks in advance

There are no cat-back kits.

Order your components from www.justmagnaflow.com, and I strongly suggest you keep the stock 2.5" Mandrel-bent stainless steel piping and your resonator.

The muffler won't add performance. Only sound. But a high-flow cat would benefit you.

You have the SSEi outlets in the rear bumper, so you want a Magnaflow crossflow muffler with 2.5" inlet and dual 2.5" outlets. Inlet and one outlet on one side, outlet on the other side. You want the F-body (Camaro/Firebird etc) muffler. It'* the same setup as ours.

2.5" cat is fine. Remember that you need the O2 bung.

and this o2 bushing?

if thats all correct and the rest of my tubing is in good condition then i can do this for around $300 and a few hours after work...way cheaper then i thought an aftermarket exhaust would be, i also priced out a factory replacement from napa and it was much more...thanks for all the help and i'll post when i complete it[/url]
