Exhaust choice?
Recently bought an '01, stock exhaust, of course I want to put on an exhaust system to make a little noise. I don't mind waking up the neighbors but I don't want to wake up the neighbors 3 or 4 houses away. Budget, I can't spend $1000 plus for exhaust. Given that, I'm looking at the Quad Cruiser or the MagnaFlow XL at about $850.
I know everybody's got a different opinion on exhaust sound, would like to see comments on the MagnaFlow XL or the Quad Cruiser systems.
Thanks.

I have XSPower, headers and mufflers and LOVE the sound. You could get just the catbacks for around 6 bills and they sound great but if you want more power and sound, go for the whole setup! They are a vendor on this site.

Don't know about the two systems you mention, but I have a set of the Corsa Indy Pace Cars on my '03 and they are incredible. Absolutely no drone, no popping and the sound is like music to the ears. Find a used set here on the forum and you can get into them for under your budget.
