heh, people are expecting a Ricey exhaust, give em a racey exhaust, go with spintech, or flowmaster, DO NOT USE A TAILPIPE TIP. A Apexi N-1 Straight thru muffler will also make the ehxaust sound racey, for expenses, jsut do cat-back, for no need to budget, go with a full on new exhaust, headers and everything. Also, do the open air filter mod, depending on the filter sued your car will sound slightly turbo charged ;) mine does anyways. It sounds throatier at 4000 RPM's as well.
