Default Exhaust

I want an exhaust that would sound really nice for my 99' ES300, but I can't find anything, help?

Define what you mean by "Sound Nice"

I just did resonator and muffler delete and piped it from the catback on my 98 es300 and it sounds nice. Not too loud and not to quiet.

Res and Muf delete isn't too loud? Those two parts being removed SHOULD dramatically increase volume lol.



Also looking for a decent muffler for a bit deeper of growl when I'm revving high, but still pretty sleepy when just cruising or idle.

Don't mess with the exhaust. Do you want an annoying drone while you drive? Consider upgrading the lighting instead, better return on your money.

I have heard numerous aftermarket exhausts that sound far worse than stock, and I am no stock enthusiast.

He recommended nothing, aka to spend your money elsewhere. For example, you can upgrade your sound system or do an HID retrofit.

I had a 99 maxima that had a fart can installed. i replaced the can with a straight pipe and it was actually a bit quieter and sounded deeper. It still had the res and cats. So surprisingly it can have a "nice" sound with out the muffler.

But if you want a nice sounding muffler you i would stay away from and ebay/cheap mufflers. OBX is kind of pushing it (for me at least) on the cheap muffler but you might luck out on the sound quality you are looking for
