Just got my K&N intake installed

Man it sounds awesome great throttle responce loving it so far Now i just gotta open up the exhaust and then ill be good. Got a quick question what is the best offroad exhaust setup? I am not worried about having the cat but I also dont want to have and CELs b/c the HPTuners software isn't out for the 08' 2.4s yet. If yall have any suggestions i will gladly take them .

Thanks,

Matt

If you run without a cat, I'm pretty sure that'll throw a CEL right away. Unless you trick the computer into not caring about the cat......which would need to be done through HP Tuners or something similar.

I just ordered a megan exhaust for my g5 gt. It was the cheapest exhaust i could find and it got great reviews on this site from fellow members. I'll post pics once i get it and put it on.
