I have a line on a like new Hartage cat-back for my 96 ti Sport. It has a single wide round-end kind of oval outlet. Anyone had one or heard one? I Have used the stock muffller and I currently have a Bosal BroSpeed SS cat-back and am wondering how the Hartage would compare? Does anyone know if it is all stanless, or just the tip? I can get it for around $300.00 and wonder if this is a good deal?

So I would think maybe you could get the cat back used for about the same or a little less? Where are you in Richmond? And what color is your car?

The one I have isn't a catback though, it's basically an axle back (I think...) It replaces the resonator all the way to the back. Stock: [cat]==[resonator]==[muffler]= With my setup: [cat]========[muffler]= (Hope that makes sense to you) It's just the tip thats SS and the rest isn't. I like the exhaust though, the tip is unique and it isn't as loud as most exhausts, but you know its there. I'll post pics later on today/ if I remember...lol -Randy __________________ 97 Jet Black 318ti Sport. Not so stock anymore!....

I think they sell a pipe that can connect to it. I was just reading on your first post how you said you have "on the line a like new Hartge" Ask the previous owner if he can give you the pipe along with the Hartge haha. -Randy __________________ 97 Jet Black 318ti Sport.
