Nice sounding Carbon Fiber Exhaust?

Hey I'm looking into getting an exhaust for my whip. But looking around at all these cat back set-ups, they are kinda pricey. So i'm thinkin about just getting the Carbon Muffler and just getting the 2.5 piping custom made from the cat back.

Anyone have any suggestions on anywhere I can get one?... Or if you have one already, recommend me to a nice sounding one. Not too Loud and abnoxious either but nice deep and sexy roar...

thanks.

I don;t know if this will help you, but I recently purchased the Buschur catback exhaust system with Magnaflow muffler and I am very happy with it! It wasn't too expensive, about $550 or so. It is not too loud or obnoxious, but has a nice deep sound to it. I'm not sure what price range you're talking about, but this was an excellent purchase for me and I would recommend it to anyone. And it had nice performance gains. Definitely worth the money!

Carbon fiber is good for motorcycles, I wouldn't recommend on a car though... The weight savings aren't going to be substantial enough to outweigh the durability of Stainless steel...
Just my $.03...

what are you talking about?... lol

I meant the muffler portion. Not the whole cat back. I want one of those nice mufflers with the carbon fiber all over it. They look hot.!!!

Save your money and just get a magnaflow, greddy or buschur catback exhaust. They all get great reviews and they don't look ricey. If you want CF, get a trunk, no one will notice it on a muffler, plus its not really a CF muffler, its just a steel one wrapped. A real CF one would be stupidly expensive and useless for a street car.

Thanks for clearing that up, but I know what you're referring too... Leave the carbon fiber mufflers to sportbikes...

Oops, sorry I meant $450, including shipping. Sorry, my mistake.
