Default Options for exhaust?

Hey guys I wanted to know what options I have to make my car louder while keeping the stock valves because I use stealth mode in the morning and night to not upset neighbors. If you can include a link to how it would sound with those changes.

A set of quality headers like Kooks or ARH & their X pipe will make the car sound better

Headers are the best ROI in my opinion.

Corsa & Borla have some nice valved options, Corsa is on sale at the moment and lots options in stock

Give me a shout if you'd like to discuss - feel free to PM or call/text 267.788.4897

Best bang for the buck. EOS x-pipe. Sounds good, doesn't cost to much, is quiet when you want it to be. Nice stainless quality. $260.

AWE X-pipe makes a difference. I have about $500 in it with the install at a local speed shop. Close the NPP valves when I want it quiet. Headers with high flow cats was $3500+. Probably more today.

This will make a difference in the sound, even on a stock catback system. But systems from Corsa or Borla can really wake up the exhaust note.

Corsa and Borla keep the NPP valves so you can be open/closed when wanted. We have both in stock and on sale!
