Need exhaust advice

[OpalaAlero]

How much would an exhaust be to purchase/have installed? Also, what are some good ones that you could recommend.

i recomend staying with stock i wish i did mine is so loud, it is annoying. I have 2 magnaflow single tip mufflers.

borla is good for a cat back and so is SLP. i would think it would be that much for install. mfuller and me did mine.

SLP and Borla are both bolt ons so they shouldn't be too expensive to install.

A custom job would probably cost somewhere between $300 and 400.

I wouldn't stay with stock, I love the way mine looks, performs, and I love the sound of my Borla, its just a little loud inside sometimes, but with the radio up you can't even tell. Definately a good investment if u r into performance.

Woops Oldsman beat me!

[Oldsman]

the old man is still fast.................LOL

[Redog]

Yeah go with the Borla or SLP, since they are bolt on. If you find a good exhaust shop it should only be 75 to 100bucks to install

As usual i'm showing how car clueless I am...

...but does an exhaust make it louder and faster, or just louder?

[r53silver91s]

No it doesn't just make it louder, it will make it sound different and in most cases better in my opinion, but it will also help with the overall apperance and performance of the car.

Depends on what you get. My setup (custom on the V6) is definitely louder, and maybe added a little punch. I went with 2.5 inch cat back (stock is 2.25), with a magnaflow muffler. Cost was $300.00 including install. SLP is louder than Borla, but the Borla sounds very good in its subtleness. Just depends what you want.

slp for me, only cost $84 to put welded on.

[r53silver91s]

^^^What had to be welded on, it bolts right on to where the stock piping and muffler were.

i know a guy who will do a headers-back setup for me for $300, muffler included. should i go with headers-back?

[leroBob]

i swear one time some put a link of the audio clips of Borla and SLp any one know what it is?

My little triangle connector that hooks up to the cat was rusted in place so they cut the new one off, and welded it to the connector, so they also just welded the whole thing while they were at it

My stock is getting louder by the day, just keep driving it. ;)
