I have a 3" mandrel bent system from the y pipe back and am using the standard FTO exhaust tips for ultra-stealth mode

As for yours, you probably want to get a new system completely; get a custom made 2.5" setup with performance catalytic converter and maybe 2-3 resonators. Add a Canon if you are that way inclined. That should give you maximum performance gains and have a nice exhaust note without being boomy or droney.

Only one resonator needed, with good rear muffler and hi-flow cat

Totally agree, 2 is over kill 3 is just ridiculous.

What are you looking for? Performance increase? Quiet or loud? or you dont care anything but what you have now?

I am sure we all will agree 2 on 2.5 pipe so that is where you start. But you need to answer the above question in order for us to get a better picture of what you want.

Anything but what i've got now, makes me want to wear a paper bag over my head (with eye holes cut out for safety of course bla bla)

Performace would be a bonus

I don't want it to be dead silet want it to have a bit of a "grumble" if that makes sense but not a milo can hello look at me cannon brrr brrrrrrrr brrr meeeow brrr lameness.

Hahaha.

So yea, exhausts...

Have you checked out the Exhaust Mod thread over in the Technical Forum? That's been going off lately. A few different options and opinions have been discussed in there...

I need it in woman language, use this template

Katie go into the exhaust shop and say I want.........(insert what exhaustI need and what i should ask for here)........when they say yes ask how much (flash some skin here,chance of getting a discount increased by 89.56%) pick up car later that day full of awesome.

But seriously, there are a few options, depending on how much you want to pay, the performance gains, and the sound you want.

Basically, to go all out would be to get a 2.5" stainless steel mandrel bent exhaust with a hi-flow catalytic converter, one resonator, one muffler and your choice of tip.

For that you are looking at around the $1500 mark.

Of course, there are various things you can do to reduce that cost, it just depends on what you do and don't want/need!

Yes, and you will definitely get some good performance gains, as well as a nice note out of it.

Make sure you go to someone reputable though, or it could become a total disaster.

I wouldnt do it in stainless steel (will cost more $$$), its not worth it as mild steel would do the job fine and it will outlast your fto anyway (so I've been hearing on here for the last few weeks

)
