I know this topic has been touched allot but , I recently got dumped, so I figured I’d make my self feel better by buying exhaust for my car? What would you guys recommend?

I think a lot of guys here run stock with flowmasters. I'd say get a quote on a custom setup and if it's less than SLP/GMPP, go for it. I think that's what I'll be doing with flowmasters.

From what Ive heard so far, the best way to go is a u-bend delete and flowmasters. IMO full aftermarket exhaust set-ups are way overpriced. Im just going to buy the parts and get a shop to do it.

I agree, I started down the path of a Borla Cat-Back but after looking around and listening to every sound bite on the net, I went with the Flowmaster 50's. Couldn't be happier and I get compliments/comments repeatedly. I strongly give it

40 series will produce a fair amount of drone. I'm thinking about changing to 50 series so I can get some decent tips.

Does anyone have any experience with the GMPP exhaust setup? I think it looks nice, and it runs magnaflow mufflers IIRC. I can't find sound clips of how it sounds (every clip I have found doesn't work or is an invalid link  to enjoy

I bought the 04 GP tips to put on my car (I think it will look decent) i spoke with a local shop and they will fabricate a replacement for the u-bend and install the tips for 50 bucks. if i find the flowmasters i don't think it will be too expensive. This is the direction I’m going to go.

I was thinking about eventually getting the SLP header/high flow cat package and the SLP loudmouth catback exhaust, but I think I could probably get an exhaust shop to make a similar catback exhaust for way less. If I went that route, I'd probably go with Flowmaster 50 series muffs and 3.5" tips

Javier, Go to Ebay and find a store called Performance Peddler. They offer Flowmasters for the cheapest around. If you can, get a 3" DP and high flow cat to complement the FM. That's what I'm doing.  Austin, What's this about too much drone for you??? I don't like the Borla sound and the SLP LM is too much.

Drone is a low rumbleing sound inside the cabin. If you have it, you'll know it. If you don't have it, you won't know anything about it.
