Exhaust Question

The exhaust on my car needs to be replaced. My parents would pay for just a basic exhaust, but of course i want to upgrade the exhaust. I also dont want an exhaust with that annoying high pitch, and I dont want something that you can hear coming from a mile away. I think im leaning toward the magnaflow, but was wondering what other options I have and the price difference between a sportyer exhaust and a stock replacement.

Hit up a muffler shop and get some suggestions, I went with a 2.25 piping, with a 22inch res + A Universal Magnaflow muffler with a custom tip and cost me $320 and thats installed, Sounds good too, not high at all, nice deep throttle. Really nice on Idel.

Get a 22in resonator. I had 2.5 inch custom piping with a resonator and it made a world of a difference. Nice deep low tone. keep the piping small and get a big resonator if your going for aftermarket.

Stock replacement would be cheap if you can get them at a junk yard. If you want one from the dealer. good luck b/c they're going to be expensive.

Just go with a magnaflow muffler and have a muffler shop do some custom piping for a cat back or axle back depending on what u can swing. maybe consider some headers too

OH i forgot to add. If your going to a muffler shop. make sure you get MANDREL bent piping not CRUSH. The crush bent is going to make it sound like crap.
