alright guys.. im looking to put on a new exhaust system and some things cross my mind.. for example if it comes time for me to sell the car and i need to put the stock parts back on i can.. so with that being said will i have to do any "major" modifications and by that i mean will i have to cut something in the car or do something that will prevent me from doing that.. so i guess the question is if i bought a exhaust system.. so i guess from the headers back will it be bolt on? or will i have to cut into the car. thank you ahead of time for your inputs it is much appreciated.

Quality exhaust systems, also the only ones to souks be considering, should bolt right up. You may find it easier to remove bracing during the install but it will all go right back up.

If you're really that concerned do some Internet window shopping and check reviews or check back here, of both! :)

Were there any systems or styles of systems (singleness, dual exit with Y-pipe, true dual) that you were considering?

What's your budget? Why are you wanting a new exhaust, do you need one (I do), Want one for sound quality, maybe looks, maybe some performance (none of them are going to knock your socks off with HP gain) or a combination of all of those?

i like the sound quality of the nismos.. but i am looking for a combination of all three really.. i do wanna keep the dual exhaust with it seperated.. some hp gain would be nice but not necessarily required

I went with a Motordyne TDX v2 exhaust, while its not exactly the cheapest one on the market, it does offer a nice exotic note and tone.

Paired up with HFC's or test pipes it sounds even more aggressive..throw headers or longtubes on that and well..do you like Ferraris?

Another neat feature with the motordyne is that it uses vband clamps rather than bolts and gaskets, so not only is installation a breeze but its also VERY maneuverable (Should you start venturing into things like rear bumpers and diffusers etc)

The Invidia Gemini is a great exhaust system as well as the ARK Grip. We carry both the systems and have heard them in person... :dblthumb:
