about that exhaust....just make sure if you don't get a whole catback system for your car at once, make sure you get a muffler that is straigth thru, and not chambered.....so you may want to stay away from flowmaster....

magnaflow and untraflow are fine....

and when you get your catback system made (it'll have to be custom) just make sure you get a decent performance cat, and get the pipes mendrel bent...

good luck!

Actually... 3ARacing isn't too bad. Mine has been on my Cam for about 3 yrs in rain, salt and other elements w/a 2.something" straightened pipe. It sounds good, just a bit of bassy growl over the sound of a stock V6 (mine is a 4cyl)... just enough sound to make the guy next to me wonder if he's about to get into it with a sleeper.
But honestly, you wont get any torque out of a cat back. By reducing back pressure in a motor such as yours you will gain top end and loose a bit of bottom end, but imho its worth it. I have fun with mine!

3ARacing....sounds familiar, where would i have seen this? pep boys? or was it just from other ppl havin the muffler.

and also, for apexi and greddy. you mean the whole system or just the muffler? i saw an apexi muffler on ebay which didn't look too bad but it was just the muffler, i tink.
