1995-1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse 2.0L Cat-Back Exhaust FAQs

Q2: Does this exhaust system delete or remove the catalytic converter?
A2: No. As a cat-back system, this exhaust bolts to the rear flange of your factory catalytic converter. It replaces the sections behind the cat — including the resonator, muffler, and tailpipe — while keeping your catalytic converter in place.
Q3: Is this a bolt-on installation, or do I need to weld?
A3: This is a direct bolt-on cat-back exhaust. No welding or cutting is required. The system installs using factory mounting points and includes gaskets, bolts, and nuts for installation.
Q4: What material is this exhaust system made of?
A4: The system is constructed from 201 stainless steel with a polished silver surface finish.
Q5: What is the main piping diameter?
A5: The main piping diameter is 2.36 inches OD (outer diameter), using mandrel-bent stainless steel tubing.
Q6: What is the muffler tip size and style?

Q7: What is included in the kit?

Q8: What is the exit configuration of this exhaust?
A8: This is a single-exit system with a single-side rear exit configuration.
Q9: Does this exhaust system require an engine tune?

Q10: How does this cat-back system compare to just replacing the stock muffler?
