1. You could buy a kit and DO-IT yourself.

2. You could buy a kit and take it to most any exhaust shop and have them do the work.

3. You could take it to an exhaust shop and have them create one.

I would suggest 1 0r 2. The kits usually have mandrel bent pipes, which reduce restriction. Where as most exhaust shops do not have a mandrel bending tool.

I would also suggest having the pipes welded at some point.

The bigger question is WHAT CAT-BACK to get? Do you want it loud or mellow. Stainless or aluminum muffler? Single or dual exit? Exit in front of the tire, behind, or out the back? Oooowww, I'm getting a headache.

Take some time to ponder the choices, there are alot of options out there.

Take it to Motion Dynamics, Performance Automotive, or Star Customs. If you live in Austin, they do alot of upgrades on vehicles.....

I got my exhaust done at Leonard's Garage and Muffler over on S. Lamar. I got it done over summer and have had zero problems. they did a great job plus i got the stainless magnaflow tips and the flowamaster muffler all put on and tuned for $450. it was cheaper than all the other places i called.
