Magnaflow 14861 muffler and a res. delete is pretty popular. I have a Thrush welded waiting to go on my ride instead. I'll post a video for everyone to see.

Agreed on the axle-back system. Don't spend $1000+ for a full catback - you gain virtually nothing other than look and sound and you can get that the way airguard is saying for a couple hundred bucks or so.

^ agreed. a lot of people like borla exhaust system but it actually doesn't do a whole lot for you since your stock piping is 2.17" and borla is 2.25". its a setup where people like the sound of it, to get more flow, go atleast 2.5".

did you not just read my post above, haha magnaflow w/ 2.5" piping doesn't sound like a ricer as well but has a lot more flow for the 2.8 V6. borla barely gives you anymore flow, you just paying for the sound.

I hear you have to be careful on turbo'd engine's as far as back pressure goes, if you dont have enough it can mess with your engine. I dont think it's true for non turbo, and i doubt you'll get an exhaust system with 0 BP but just throwin' it out there.

The previous owner had a Supersprint system installed in my 2.8.
