Got the car to Japfest and back again, however by the time I got home she sounded more like a V8

Im guessing this is why.

Would I need a complete exhaust based on how bad this section is

Cheers guys

That is pretty rusty.. if you try to patch-fix it you're likely to suffer another rust related fail, so yes, unfortunately my advice is get a full system, used stainless is fine.

Cant complain too much 3 years sat on a driveway without turning a wheel ,cant expect much else.
Off to hunt for an exhaust. Would anyone no the difference between a 2Ltr and a 2.2 exhaust as Im changing the engine to a vtec and wouldn't want to get one just now that wont fit the 2.2 later.
Thanks

There is no difference in cat-backs for manual 2.0's and 97-98 2.2's
