Exhaust.

According to other members, such as our friend Jdm above, the fitment is pretty bad...
If you want something that looks nice and isnt TOO loud get the Greddy SP2... if you have a Y pipe... which is what you should get FIRST if you want power, its going to be a little louder but nothing crazy.

alright... a 2.5" pipe is a 2.5" pipe... it depends if you want stainless or not, but stainless hold up against the cold better.
not all premade exhausts fit perfect... for the one's that do expect to pay $400-500... if you go that route, i suggest the greddy sp2...
personally, from my first statement and my purchase from wsp, i see no point in buying a premade exhaust...
you can select your muffler, which will play MOST of the part in how your exhaust sounds, have an exhaust shop hang it, and create a b-pipe for you. it is a good idea to get a resonator welded in for clarity sake. it sounds absolutely horrible without one...
now, depending on your location and the weather, you can select which material you want your exhaust made out of... i want to say exhaust shops don't have stainless steel 2.5" pipes laying around, but either way, you can get some somewhere, or they can for you...btw, my shop was little, so bigger ones may have access to more/better things... just call and ask.
for alumidized steel piping ran with resonator and you muffler, total cost is WELL under $300... but stainless will be more around that range...
i see a point in getting a stainless y-pipe, but for exhaust, i'd go with alumidized steel... you can always get it re-done, new pieces welded in... because really, nobody see's your exhaust, just your tip...
but, if you want to spend the extra money and get stainless, it will last longer, i can't say how much longer, but others can give you advice around your area on that topic...
for mufflers, id go with the dynomax super turbo... it is a rather oval canister so it is far from ricey... it wont tuck your tip close to your bumper, but if your shop centers it, it will look fine... the best thing about it, is that is only $50 bucks from summitracing...
hope it helps...

Thanks again!

Thanks again!

you could buy a premade b-pipe, but the fitment isn't always garaunteed anyways... cattmans is like $300, but even still, you will still have to either get a aftermarket rear section, or get a muffler and have some pipe added to it to connect to the b-pipe...
this may help:

see, there is still a little bit of pipe from your b-pipe to the muffler, so why not just get a shop to make the pipe from the cat to the muffler...
although, my perspective on the matter is if you need SS piping... then you could buy a SS AM b-pipe, like cattman or lss, depending on your budget, and bolt that on... then just get a muffler, and have them add the small piece of pipe connecting it, that way you could have some interchangability of mufflers... since there is no reasonably priced rear sections...
you just make one that's alumidized... that way if it falls apart after 2-4 years, so what? it's like $100 to replace it...but honestly, i doubt anyone will change their muffler out that much... i won't...
so my next exhaust will just be buying a good muffler... big oval one like i have now, not a straight through farty design that a lot of people have around town, and get it bolted on, and just a 2.5" alumidized pipe ran to it, and just have a shop weld in a big resonator... and of course a nice shiney chrome tip!
