Default Exhaust tips?

I'm looking for a better sound from my sc300 does anyone have any tips for mufflers or possibly a new exhaust?

Sorry 'bout that Dave. I guess we all have to start somewhere. I'll offer some advice. Mufflers alone are not going to change the sound that much. You need to complement them by removing the resonators if you wish to increase power at all, even by a small amount. The stock USDM mufflers are a straight-through design, and aren't very restrictive all all. The weakest link is the center resonator, and the piping from that point back. The diameter is reduced and it becomes very restrictive. Depending on your budget, either change the piping and mufflers from the catalytic converters back, or, if you have cash to burn, change out the cats as well for high-flow cats. If you can afford to do that, you might as well put in headers as well for even more horsepower gains, as headers alone will provide respectable gains. Personally, I have a custom exhaust setup right now, which I am not very happy with. In the near future I will be going back to stock exhaust. It just isn't as classy anymore when its loud.
