The first question is "adding a pic to your signature".

2nd question is what sort of sound are you looking for?
Flowmaster for a deeper tone and magnaflow for more of a buzz sound.

I have a feeling you're looking for a bolt on exhaust. Sorry, there isn't one. You'll have to either custom make or have installed a muffler, high flow cat, etc.

That's backwards. Magnaflow is a deeper mellow tone, Flowmaster tends to be raspier.

FYI, the exhaust upgrade will gain you zero performance. Unless you're set on changing the sound, leave it alone for now.

I have to jump in a echo Bill's comments, nothing sux worse then paying someone to mod the exhaust then suddenly the car is loud, drones, gives the wife a headache etc....
The factory exhaust is pretty good.

Oh yeah, it will never sound like a V8, don't even try. :roll:

Correct. Your factory exhaust is mandrel-bent Stainless Steel, and is very free-flowing from the factory. It takes quite a few other mods to get to the point where your exhaust needs upgrading.

I have a flowmaster and I really like it. Excelent sound at idle.
