Exhaust systems and Mufflers
I've read some threads on here, but wanted to know what you guys reccomend as far as exhaust systems go for our cars. I want something that isnt obnoxious, but sounds nice, and isnt too loud. Any feedback is appreciated....

I have MagnaFlows on mine with stock piping and love them. Sound really good. Here is a vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtpfMHkJry4

If borla makes a catback system for the cl I'd start saving lol. I've got 2 savings accounts right now, one is for the cl and the other is for the mods 
and I think I'm gonna go with a comptech catback (or borla, if they make one) paired with ebay headers and stock cat.
Kind of a bottle neck at the cat but it's the chance I have to take in order to pass emissions.

i will probably buy the comptech axlebacks when im ready to upgrade --- they sound real nice when u get on it, but not obnoxiously loud when cruising through suburban neighborhoods

From what I have seen , i thought the Greedy Evo 2 was the BEST sounding catback system that I have heard on the CL.

I found an HKS axle back exhaust for around 450 bucks, has anyone heard HKS on the cl's? I wouldn't mind going with them, or borla.
I know an exhaust shop that's done custom work for me in the past, they've got a mandrel bender, it might be cheaper to just get them to do a custom job right after the cat to the mufflers. What size pipes are healthy to use?

Fuzzy, you said that your cans got deeper over time...I have heard this too. I just put on Magnaflows and am wondering how the sound will change - how much driving did you do before the CTs settled on their final sound?

Ok, thanks. I think I have noticed something already even after only about a week.
Furthering this exhaust thread (and since the new site seems to have temporarily lost all ability to search), what do you guys think:
Currently I have magnaflows and all stock exhaust otherwise. I am thinking of removing the mid-muffler to give it some more balls. Do you think it would be overly loud this way? I want to hear it, but I dont want to sound like it's straight piped. Also, if I do that would I benefit from swapping the resonator for an 18 inch magnaflow or would that not really make a difference?

My mufflers ere on the car when i got it and don't have and markings that I've been able to find, so I have no idea what they are, but they sound phenomenal. A pic is below and I'll record some video when either it stops raining or I get over this cold.
They look like such:

fuzzy, what size pipe did you use for ur CT's? those sounded good.
also, not to steal the thread, but has anyone tried flowmasters and liked it? i've read a few posts on it and it seems that they are either way loved, or way hated
