Looking for exhaust

But not the ricey type. I do not want the lawnmower sound, or leaf blower sound coming from my car. I'm use to have the V8 sound with some flowmasters.

Which exhaust system would you recommend?

Thanks

I will prolly purchase this one if nobody comes out with a cat-back exhaust soon.

I've heard some that sound real deep. But sound like $hit at full throttle.

I'm using the Tanabe SMHyper and its sounds wicked. It's very deep and not too much louder than the stock. As a matter of fact it sounds like a completely different car.

I believe Stylis already has a magnaflow setup on his xB. It sounds nice and throaty at idle. He says its very quiet at freeway speeds. He's also got some soundclips of what the exhaust sounds like. To check out his pics of his setup and the sounclips, go here: http://scionxb.net/index_files/styli...is_exhaust.htm

Sorry to say I already talked to the Magna flow representative and the system will not be ready for another year. But I can build you one, just PM me and I will give you the details.

That is correct, but i think ikonXone is stating that MagnaFlow is coming out with their own version of the cat back exhaust, not a universal muffler welded on to a aftermarket b pipe. Stylis did a great job on his system. Much props.

Thanks for the props brother, yeah the magna flow rep said they are still testing and developing the exhaust. I am not sure if they have a test car though. Go to there website and ask them if you qualify for testing the exhaust on your ride. You have to live in LA though.

Yeah, I've been in contact with them.
