Just get a KTeller bolt up exhaust. That or go to a muffler shop and have them install an oval muffler in the stock location and weld up the piping. Then just find some nice tips (I like RSX Type-S tips) and get them welded on.

I'm running a Dynomax Turbo muffler, muffler shop 2 1/4" pipes and some Sebring tips. Sounds really nice. Quiet when it needs to be, but loud when you get on it. It's very deep. The only bolt on catbacks I've heard in person that I like are the Thermal R&D, HKS, RSR Exmag, and Apexi WorldSport. All of those are REALLY expensive, IMO. My setup cost under 300$.

You will probably lose a little bit of hp because of back pressure especially if you got catback or headers.

depends on the diameter of piping your b pipe is, you could create a good ammount of backpressure if the piping is larger going into a smaller exhaust muffler

Ahah i did that, I used 2.25 and then once it got to the axle ack, i used 1.75 to the muffler. I dont know if im losing any power here, but i ran out of stainless pipe so i left it like that...

i dont think its the best for volume or velocity flow, but its not going to hurt anything but power really

what about a glasspack i seen some people use them to quite there car and it shouldn't have to much back pressure. i think its one of the tiny one with a mid sized pipe. i would say go to a muffler shop and see what they say. they might say something, just don't say any thing about the cat. especailly if its cleaned out.
