i'd get hks. they sound real nice. or you can go with apexi, but you'll need a resonator. you'll get tried of the noise really quick. yeah i'd list magnaflow under all the cheap sh*t. along with apc and other american made products.

I also looked at the apexi WS system, and actually heard that it was fairly quiet...not a whole lot louder than stock...which apexi system are you referring to?

I looked at the hyper medallion, but decided against it. I want something that is stainless, not just ceramic coated. I think I am going with an invidia system.

yeah...I was at home last night and definitely saw a Tanabe ad in a magazine that said that the hyper medallion was full stainless. I wish i could remember where it was I read that it wasn't.

I have the DC Sports cat-back, I like it. Not that loud till you punch it. Sometimes I wish it was louder.
