Exhaust wont give you any big gains on horsepower, but its a start.

If your looking for an easy exhaust to put on. Go with an axle back.

P.S. If you look in my sig I have one for sale

Yeah, exhaust for our cars is pretty pointless for a power gainer unless you have more to go with it. Say maybe 1-2 hp on a stock car. But again, what's your budget? What do you want it to sound like? DO NOT buy a fart can by APC from Pep Boys, Autozone or what ever you have around you. THEY ARE LOUD, R!C EY and annoying. Plus you will get laughed at. HKS, GReddy, and Tanabe make good stuff. Invidia isn't bad either. All can be gotten from Ebay. Look to spend around $200 for legit stuff. Some guys like the others as well. Some guys run stock exhaust with nice tips or Boso style tips. AGAIN, stay away from the mainstream parts stores for these, buy nice ones.

Now, if you have a large budget, you can import from Japan. I have a Ganador on mine, and there are other nice ones by Fabulous, Garson, Kakimoto and more. But they will cost you. I have over $600 with shipping into my Ganador. But wouldn't trade it for anything. It's titanium, light, quiet, and low toned. Some of the Garson ones can run over $1000.

Lovin' my Strup v2... coupled with the Weapon-R header... it's nice and smooth sounding.

id say Greddy evo 2 or just the TRD exhaust, both sound great

jI would do intake with exhaust at a minimum..great advice above I run the Precision Muffler set up

As it's been stated, you're not going to get any real power out of an exhaust, just the sound. I run a Greddy SP2 and I love it, it's very tame, but can roar if you get on the throttle. It really depends on what you want, I've been through three... TRD, Precision and the SP2.

Toyota TRD or Precision Muffler are good choices. The TRD fits in there exactly like the stock which is nice. The Precision muffler hangs down a bit further, but has a nice low tone to it.

Lets not forget Borla. TRD is Borla anyway, and the tone is nice compared to some i have heard. And its stainless.

Can you confirm this?

Go with any brand that doesnt require anything other than a wrench to install; Apexi, Greddy, HKS, Tanabe, TRD, Borla, Strup etc... If you have to have it welded on its going to sound like crap. If you mess with the mid pipe it will sound like crap. Keep it simple and clean.

jct

i have my custom exhaust system welded in... it just sounds lot lower and awesome

just keep the stock header on cause you'll get lot of exhaust drone into the cabin...

elpin

alot of great advice thanks i can begin the ebay search now. thanks.

If you replace the header and go with the borla cat back you will be right up there in awesome... the sound is perfect (confirmed) and its not huge and tasteless...

although if you really want some serious flow, get rid of the cat and resinator

jct

straight pipe all the way

Glasspack FTW! thats what I have... at 3500-3700 rpm on the highway it sounds like an old radial engine aircraft at takeoff

Zman

Haha I have Burstaneurysm's Precision and I love it.

it was or is here somewhere in SL land. I found this out years ago, before i bought my Borla. When you have been here on SL for as long as i have you tend to forget where you place things. But, i am 100% sure that at one time ( and i would think still ) Borla was making TRD exhausts.
