Default inexpensive exhaust

i'm wondering what exhaust you guys think I should get. The current cat-back was installed by the previous owner, and it doesn't even have any markings on it. It doesn't fit good, and rubs against the chassis by the rear passenger side wheelwell. I suspect that it was bought on ebay, and it is a fart can with an enormous tip. It is uncomfortably loud at freeway speeds, and overpowers the stereo. I'm looking for something on the less expensive side (not garbage though), with aquality/reliable name, and I want it to not be too loud at freeway speedsbut I still want it to be kindaloud whenI hit the gas hard. I also don't want it to have a rounded muffler. I'd prefer having an oval muffler.

Any suggestions on what to get and where to get it?

how about a Magnaflow Bro. They always sound good

This is the exhaust I got On My 00 Si..........any of the followings will work for you all have the 2.25" inlet ...O yeah they also have some with silencer. I have purchase from this guy before free shipping

Please note you can't buy directly from Magnaflow.....I know it sucks.

Default RE: inexpensive exhaust

will it be too loud on the freeway though?

thats pretty much one of my main concerns. I'm tired of hearing the exhaust and not my music.
I don't want to put a silencer on it because i hate how they look.

which magnaflow do you recommend? I want to get a full catback since the piping on my car doesn't fit right.


EDIT: you answered while I was typing this. LOL

I got a magnaflow catback for $395 shipped and I love it and it is reitivally quiet at lower rpms and louder at higher rpms. It is nice and deep tone also, not raspy even with a test pipe. Since you want an oval instead then I guess you should get an apexi ws2.

Yeah I always buy oval mufflers to me the sound better compare to the round mufflers

Thiscar has Intake, header, high-flow cat...Mine will sound similar to this once my header gets installed .....NO this is not my Car.....
