Which exhaust system do you guys reccomend?

I heard good things about the RMM Sport Exhaust System, like how they make a good sound (not too loud, etc) and possibly increase power several horsepower. And i love how the tips look. I'm leaning toward the RMM system right now.

Are there better exhaust systems? Not too loud, but enough too make it sound 'beefier'. I also know that Borla and Greddy make kits for the SC. Any other companies? What would you all reccomend? Also, where can I get the best prices on Exhaust? Thanks!

If cost isn't an issue, Greddy is far and away the best exhaust system out there. I have a Greddy on a Probe GT that I own (Don't laugh) and you will not find a more cool looking or sounding exhaust. The thing is built like a tank and is full stainless steel and highly polished.
It will cost you a few dead presidents though. Last I checked they're running close to $1000 for the SC.

You'll pay, but you won't go wrong with then Greddy.

I had that thread transferred to the Engine/Transmission section...... Where I should have posted it in the beginning...

As for the greddy exhaust I heard them on other vehicles and they are ok, but for $1000 bucks... to high.....

IMO Dyno max, FlowMaster, Borla sounds better especially on a V8...

Greddy, HKS, Arospeed sounds ok on 6 cyl...

Hoops I think Ford should've continued with the GT Probe... It was a fresh designed and capable handling car... it does not accept upgrades at all for perf... that's it only draw back. Sport compact car mag. had one for a year and got 0 for mods that actually increase power. Except NOS...

A few members have their opinions on sound, perf, looks etc... Just read the post on the thread... I'm going with Dynomax SS mufflers for less than $200 bucks installed for looks and that powerful sweet, low mellow tone that is not offense... Plus DM and Flowmaster delta series, flow better that those other "after market" high dollar systems according to the flow data vs the others...
