I need and exhaust that looks close to stock. Something that is subtle and won't tell people," Look at that car w/ that exhaust!" Anything that will pass for good sound quality and appearance like incognito. LOL

BTW the budget is less then 150!(<---- El Cheapo, i know.)

^Otherwise you're gonna have to spend a bit of money for an OEM-style exhaust:
TRD
Borla<--Most OEM looking
Tanabe Medallion Touring
Megan OE-RS
Precision Muffler

That's a tough budget. If you ever decided to a go higher, TRD has a nice clean look.

Get a custom welded up with the muffler of your choice. Then cut the tip and 90º bend off of the stock exhaust and weld that on. That's what I did. Doesn't get any more stock looking than that.

what kind of muffler would be most suitable? Magnaflow? Spintech? Flowmaster?

Doc: You said i can use the piping off off the oem muffler and just cut after the 90degree angle and weld it on?

*Pic request on stock looking exhaust, including WEB and Dr_Isotope. Whoever post the pic first is more awesomest.

All it is is a 90º, a U-Bend, a SpinTech Pro-street, and the stock tip. Total axleback cost, $142. Good lord, does it ever need a new coat of paint. I guess I don't look at the muffler very often.

That looks pretty good doc. So does it sound really good with the stock exhaust tip?

I'm really pleased with the sound. I just wish I had a way to record a clip of it with reasonable quality.

Yeah, these mufflers sound MUCH better in person than on video. I had a video of mine but the damn speaker on the camera was too sensitive and it crackled and popped the whole time.

SPINTECH FTW!
