2.5" straight pipes from cat back, into Y then 2.5" Coby glasspack into Y, then twin out to 2 Flowfast mufflers with twin tips each side.

Other day: drained oil, refreshed some of the the PS fluid, (sucked out about 3oz.) I have to get a new tranny washer to do a partial drain so that stopped the fluid maintenance drill.

Really good mate, very happy with it. Has a nice deep rumble at idle. It's reasonably quiet in the car with the windows up when rolling down the street or highway, still has a nice deep rumble but no annoying drone. However outside, it is most certainly louder & gets louder as the revs climb. As you hear in the video clip I took it howls when revving it. People on the street turning to see what is coming down the road.

Yes, didn't want to drop stupid amounts of money on it, even this system is still a lot when compared to the price of the car.

there really isn't a "standard sports" exhaust, best bet is usually to have one made locally.

anyone who's had their exhaust tucked up, how much did it cost? i'm trying to get a rough estimate on how much i need to save for it before i go from one muffler shop to another.

as for today, i finally got my euroline's bent fix and new tire mounted along with finally fixed my crooked driver seat. no more back pains =D

understandable... paying <$5000 for a car make can you hesitant to spend 20+% on just an exhaust. i just noticed a resonance in the sound which is common to baffled mufflers and aluminized exhaust found in lots of domestic cars up here... sounds good though.
