So I know there's been quite a few threads asking about exhausts about a CE, and I thought I'd help out by creating a thread that could be stickied so we don't have to repeat our answers every time someone asks.
I'll add info as everyone posts their opinions and other info.
CATBACK SYSTEMS
So, everyone has a different opinion about these.
I've been told, that for a N/A engine (1.5 OR 1.8) a 2 inch, or 2 and 1/4 inch mild steel, press bent system should be sufficient, unless you plan on doing massive engine work, which a 2 and a half inch press or mandril bent mild steel will be more than enough. Anyone going forced induction should also be alright with this setup.
Now, everyone has a different opinion on exhausts.
Personally, I don't mind cannons, as long as it is a proper one, none of this cheap SCA/AUTOBARN crap. Others say a good high flow redback twin tip muffler gives a nice note.
I would suggest a 12 inch or so resonator in the system to keep drone down, and keep the cops off your back.
EXTRACTORS
Basically there's two kinds of extractors modifiers use - 4-2-1 and 4-1.
4-2-1 gives better torque and low down power - good for everyday use and anyone who isnt going to be in the higher revs all the time.
4-1 gives the opposite - better power in the upper section in rpm.
CATALYTIC CONVERTERS
These guys convert the noxoius gas that exits your engine to less harmful substances.
The stock cat isnt too bad, but for anyone wanting better power, a higher flow - 200 or 300 cell per inch will suffice.
That's about all I can think of for now. Please post your oppinions/any information you have, and I'll update this once I have time
