Hey guys, i was thinking that since ive done most of the suspension work i had planned for my car it may be time to start looking at some exhaust options.

Basically, im looking for a system or half system..whatever, that will give my car a bit of a deeper sound. Im not really after the boxer rumble but then again i dont want it to sound like a fart.

I have about $500 to spend and was just wanting some advice on past experiences, recommendations or things to steer clear of. My thoughts so far are either with a cat-back system or a full system.
Found some examples.."probably shitty"

Go to your local exhuast shop, get a diff-back muffler made up, prob cost $200 tops. if it doesnt sound deep enough for you then buy some headers of ebay.

Personally i wouldnt waste your time getting a cat back made up, it won't make any difference. best thing about doing it like i said is if in a few years when you sell your car or get sick of the noise you have the stock OEM stuff to bolt back on and can sell what you have.

if your not worried about burble get a nice oval muffler......not much need for anything else

EDIT: Ya beat me to it Mark

Yeah, i was thinking that would be the most sensible way to go about it. As far as sound, is it just a standard piping from there with a new muffler?

..yeah its sorta like, i want a little bit of that burble but not so much as to make it sound like a wrx

Yeah just tell them you wanna keep your stock muffler and they'll use a new flange and pipe, with an oval muffler. also good for road trips cause you can swap back to stock set-up easy as. just do that first, and see what you think.

Yeah thats basically the sound that im after. Maybe a tiny bit deeper but anyway, what did you modify to achieve that ?

As said in the thread its stock with a diff back muffler set-up.

or the ebay UEL headers and a diff back, obviously it sounds a little different in real life

Ok sweet, how much did that set you back ? And any specifics when asking for a diff back set up

Got the xforce muffler second hand for $150 fitted, but that was like 3 years ago, under $200 you should be able to get the headers new of ebay, or around $150 second hand.

Nup just explain to them what you want and they'll be more help then almost anyone online could be, it is their job after all

Should easy be able to do the muffler and headers for under $500 easy, just look around on forums and ebay

maybe something like this and get the tips made straight
