i had my muffler replaced with a magnaflow muffler.sounds better than stock exhaust but.... last week at nopi, most other cars had better sounding exhaust systems. even my dad says my exhaust is lacking character. i'm really thinking about removing the resonator too. and catback is out of my budget

get a quote from a muffler shop..i never have bought a brand catback exhaust, i just get mine custom fabbed and is usually around 50-100 dollars after its all done(for the piping and installation)

I would agree with that and really consider Zomghax set up. It souded good. that was replacing the resonator with a magnaflow straight through muffler and then a corsa. It was what I am after. you may like that too. then buy these mufflers and visist you a exhaust shop to get a three inch cat-back. the can put in a reducer to mate up with the stock down pipe. If you do a header and down pipe in the future the cat-back is not garbage. just change it up to fit.
