Im ballin....

on a budge. Anyways I was just wondering which one of these exhaust would you go for or have you had an experience with any of these such as quality, welds, sounds, and things like that.

Thank you.

In that price range you could get a brand name quality exhaust with warranty: http://www.maperformance.com/magnafl...n-x-16823.html

Full 3" for good power, nice tone, not too loud, good fitment, etc. Muffler quality makes a very large difference in terms of tone, drone, and volume.

I just bought and installed this exhaust. The price was fantastic. There was a slight modification needed with the flanges (flanges were different sizes and I used a drill bit/dremel to lengthen the holes on the after-market exhaust so it would line up with stock cat). It's a deep sounding exhaust and there is no drone.

I would avoid megan, after a personal experience with a car 8 years ago. However I love my GReddy Ti-C.

BTW Kracka. I noticed MAP actually lists their Works short-throw and bushings with some RL as the "Kracka Package" ! Awesome! Can't wait to buy the package

I kinda want to give that ARK 3.5in a shot. Should be nice and deep plus I like how the canister is visible but it keeps the tip at an angle so its straight with the back of the car. They seem to have really good review.

Now that Megan on the other hand looks like poo poo.

Off topic. How long did it take you to install? Did you do it yourself? Was it hard? So transmission fluid comes with it so does that mean you have to change the transmission fluid with changing this?

1. Give yourself 4-5 hours to do it all if you've never done it before. I suggest having a Dremel with cut-off wheel to assist with removing the stock shifter.
2. Yes, I've done mine and a few for others.
3. Not really hard, but it can be time consuming. All you need are basic hand tools (wrenches, sockets, etc.), a Dremel, and a 24mm wrench or socket for the tranny fluid drain plug.
4. The kit includes the fluid, but you don't have to do it at the same time; you can save it for another day. Realistically, you can break the whole project into pieces so you can get a feel for what each component does (at the minimum, do the shifter and console bushings together, and the cable and gate bushings together).

Lots to do...most the time is spent just getting access to the components.
