Ok so, just got my first 240. Engine was blown, so my friend helped me rebuild one. In the process of taking the motor out of the car, the bolts on the exhaust, right before the cat were so rusted that they broke off and are stuck in the holes. The engine was re-built and started for the first time last night. Well, since my exhaust was pretty much open headers with it sounded loud as hell and not very soothing. My question is, what do you think I should do? I was thinking about just getting an ebay catback but my friend said that exhausts on the NA single cams KAs don't sound very good. But I don't have the stock exhaust on either. I could try and drill them out but thats gonna be a total b!#ch. What are your thoughts on ebay exhausts on SOHCs? Also, keep in mind, It'll be a DD but its also like a drift bucket. Im not trying to spend 500 bucks on a nice exhaust system.
