Exhaust setup

What is the best sounding exhaust setup for around $500-$1000?

Nothing makes it sound better, only louder. Save your money.

That’s B/S. AA midpipe is in the budget. Sounds much better with it, less raspy

Hey,

The two cheapest option are:

* Mid-Pipe - Secondary Cat's./Resonator removal/replacement

The car has enough power and more can be had without necessarily removing the primary Cat's.
Plus, I don't want to deal with the stench.

I plan on changing the following:

* Secondary's and replacing with these "JR25's" (Great price - Better to be had @ Summit!)

* The stock Resonator (reduced H-pipe) box and replacing (Summit) with a 2.5" X-pipe....
* Awe Track Edition Exhaust


Cheers!

I’d just get an AA midpipe. Sounds great paired with stock, and is also a common pair with most other systems if you plan on upgrading again in the future.
