yea but theres seem TOO quite. almost silent unless you have a header and im never gonna get one, unless they offer diff mufflers, but then again 300 for a custom seems too expensive and id rather go local

$300 too expensive?

you can always ask about putting on a different muffler.

2.5 inch piping will give you less power gains than 2.25 if your planning to stay N/A. The exhaust gasses will slow, cool, and get denser, causing the engine to have to push them out harder, giving you less hp gains.

^ Exactly... The Precision is a great tone, with or without headers... and going too big on a N/A setup is a no go...

ok thanks for the 2.25 recommendation. but the way i see it i can get a muffler for around 150. tip for 25, and piping is cheap too i plan to get everything separete and then just have them weld it together..
also i found this guy on ebay

sound like a good deal but not sure witch muffler to get and rating is good also.
