There's so many of these posts. Search. But what you will probably hear from everyone that the best bang for your buck would be the HKS Hiper.

^^^ The HKS Hi-power does not fit the 2+2.

I have read that the X-pipe is better, but I'm not 100% sure.

There must be a dozen "what's the best exhaust" threads here, which, of course, makes it that much harder to search. (I hate this search fuction too) I have two questions though:

1. I want to maintain the dual tips on each side. The only ones I've seen that way are from Megan and Stillen (through UltimateZ). Are there any other manufacturers with dual tips. (Oh, I've seen Monza too. OK, I'm done talking about that option )

2. Does anyone have experience with a Megan setup? I'm curious about quality, performance, and satisfaction.

I don't want anything loud, but right now I barely hear the exhaust with the top down.

Haven't looked yet (lazy). Do they have dual tips? But more importantly, I don't want a system that looks good or sounds good. I want one that give some sound while being, most importantly, efficient. I know that I can't get huge HP improvements, but I want what I can get without letting the whole town know about it. Understand?

EDIT: Holy Wallet Sucker, Batman... $1200?

Ken

P.S. And, I want a "signature block". Where do I set that up? I'm "Forum Impaired" on this server...

(Thanks for ALL your help guys and gals.)

X-pipe is supposed to provide more exhast scavaging

Borla exhaust is so-so....nothing to write home about, and I'm not sold on Megan either.

Also, Ken, if you want a sig, e-mail me a couple pictures of your car and I'll make you a properly sized one
