Talking Newfound

Just found this site and I'm lovin it already! I've got an 06 2.4 N/A 2 door. I have cold air, but since I just got married money is slow coming for the exhaust. But... I'm looking to get the best sound out of my pipes. Hopefully a little throatier than they sound but not too whiney. I realize this is a lot to ask out of a 4 cyl. but what the hell. Any suggestions??

GMP Exhaust. Best sounding exhaust for LSJs.

the GMPP and magnaflow exhausts both sound great. Corsa sound nice but is pretty expensive.

GMP may be great for LSJ, but OP has an 06 SS 2.4 N/A, which is a LE5.

I had a vibrant header w/ cat and magnaflow 2.5in exhaust. It was deep and loud-ish but not too bad. Noticed most performance gains from the header and tuning there after. Goodluck with your 2.4!
