Default OE-style aftermarket exhausts **Updated w/Video**

I know we have the exhaust buyer's guide, but unfortunately it's somewhat incomplete, so I'm creating a separate thread. I personally prefer the OE look; that's what I'll be reppin' when it comes time to buy one. I know there are several OE style exhaust systems out there, but a nice central repository of info on them would be nice. I'll get the ball rolling by posting what I know; you guys can fill in the blanks as we move along. I tried to list the MSRP from the manufacturer's website when possible (I skipped the sale prices because that could change), but you'll have to search the web to find the best deal for yourself.

Oh hey BigMURR, I just noticed you're from "May-retta," I just moved to Gainesville from Massachusetts about 2 months ago. I'll have to give a listen to your exhaust sometime.

I have the magnaflow on my tc... i didnt install it, i took it to a shop. only $50 they said they were surprised how nicely it fit together because most bolt on kits never really actually just bolted up...

Sure can do, it sounds even better now that I have the s-pipe with it.

Greddy DT



Greddy DT minus small exhaust pipe (Greddy SP2 on the left)






The DT is a little louder that the SP2 when the small pipe is corked. The DT is significantly louder when uncorked.

Might want to edit some of your prices there. Some of them are MSRP and some of them are street prices. Like the Precision Muffler is a street price... but the TRD is MSRP it's not $500+, TRDsparks.com has it for $342 (+ship).

Hmmn good point. Maybe I'll just enter a price range, or skip the pricing altogether. I don't want to show any favoritism or persuade people one way or another.

Well if you don't have all of the info for every one, you could just state which it is... and maybe explain it might be lower when you have just an MSRP or you don't know the MSRP... etc.

I have the Megan and I love the deep tone, I just need to get the s-pipe so that i can hear it a bit more. It is about the same volume as stock by itself.

But, oh man, that burnt tip!!

Is Draxas still in business? I remember they had an OE style exhaust, but I haven't heard anything about it or them recently.
