To be honest I was partially joking about just hacking off your muffler. That's sort of like what I have done, but I have a V8, they have a different sound. If you get a full cat back exhaust I would recommend going with a reputable brand, not just "a pipe straight back without all the bends" because those bends are what give you ground clearance.

actually to me that exhaust didnt sound all that bad untill he reved it. But he didnt cut off his exhaust though in the description he describes a full exhaust system and you can see the exhaust tip under his car.

Im not thinking about hacking off the exhaust anymore i realize thats not the best idea my other post said that but i wanted to replace the stock exhaust and have one that just goes straight back from the cat instead of curving up, back down, then to the right before it gets to the muffler like the stock one is. Isnt all that turning bad? Like doesnt it cut down on the sound and performance? And i have stock suspension so my car doesnt come anywhere close to bottoming out would having the pipe come down a little then back up really risk ground clearance problems??

yea i took my muffler off and it was loud as hell...louder than my old truck with headders and a 350 with a 4 barrel carb.
it sounded good too...not raspy or ****ty or anything
i put the muffler back on anyways cuz i dont know if its bad for the car or not...
but it does rumble so yea
