Default Help with exhaust?????????

Im looking for a new exhaust. My first idea was to go Corsa, but my wife doesnt want to spend 650-700.00 I have never heard any of the exhausts out there except for my brother in laws flowmasters (sound like **** IMHO with bad drone in the car).

Heres what Im looking for:

1. Most Hp increase for the money.
2. Stainless steel or other metal with best warranty against rust and wear.
3. Good looking, dual tips
4. Bolt on easy without having to do and mods/cuts of existing cats or such (I dont want a cut out or extra pips, Im basically looking for a design that routes in the same way as the stock system does but better quality then stock)
5. NO DRONE (Muscular sound is ok at WOT but im not looking to wake the neihborhood).

Please help me out with some ideas......

My suggestion is to look for an SLP Dual/Dual used.

Moving this to the External Engine Forum so you get more responses.

You will get drone from every catback except the Corsa, period.

The only other tips that look good IMO are the B&B's. They don't come close to the Corsa tips though.

You're pretty much going to drop $500-650 unless you buy used or get a cheap non-stainless system.

You're letting your wife make mod decisions on YOUR car? BIG mistake IMHO.

It's not, "I want to spend $650 on a muffler."

It's, "I'm going to budget $650 for mods."

Good luck. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

SLP 2OTL does not drone.
SLP dual/dual does not drone.
Magnaflow does not drone.
Flowmaster does drone.
SLP Loudmouth does drone.

Of the systems I've had, tried, and/or installed these are the results. Corsa is not the only one without drone.

2OTL is my favotite system out there. Fully stainless steel, no rasp with an ORY, no drone, max flow, max power, and all for $399. Some don't like the dual left side only outlets though. I like that way better, but every one has their own opinion on that.

My vote is for the Hooker catback $300 shipped. Great tone, bolt up, <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" /> nice dual tips(paint with clear engine paint first though). Gotten tons of compliments
