Default Exhaust on a budget?

Hey evyerone. I am getting a new Scion xB in about 2 weeks and I was wondering what the best exhaust for someone on a budget was? I have seen some on ebay for like under $30.00!? I will already have the AEM intake in it, but the exhaust is the other mod I really want. Oh! One more thing; I would prefer for it NOT to sound like a coffee can muffler...(thats why I have a sportbike!)

Thanks in advance

Matt

Save your $$ and don't get the Intake, then get either the Stylis one or a DC Sports one. Whatever you do don't Get a "No-Name" Brand, esp. from eBay.

Just my 3 cents short of a nickel.

What about a Borla exhaust? I know some friends that have them on some other cars and they sound great.

you could go with a borla system, but then your not on a budget are u. Borla exhaust systems go up into the mid 300s. I got a system here that has the answer to your budget problems.
The PrecisionMuffler.com Axle back for 250.00!!

Whats up!!! Let hear you hollar!
Want more power and got the scratch, I got your itch than.
The manifold back system is for sale too, your entire system replaced with an upgraded badass model!


Let me know. :D

Totally understandable, the sound is a low tone and quiet at freeway speeds. Let me know when you need it and I can get one out to you, in no time! :D

HP gain goes from 2-4HP. Very nice pickup and the sound is awesome.
