Nah. I think it's funny because there's numerous threads regarding the matter. Do some youtube searching, too. Zsanz has a video up on there and there's another one, as well.

As far as power gains, they'll be slim. It's just an axle back, but the construction looks to be top notch. The sound also sounds fairly decent. I don't have this, but judging from a few clips, I've thought about it.

But I have some ideas up my sleeve as far as a full exhaust goes...

Borla is nice but I have the Tsudo Dual exhaust and love it Axle back compared to cat-back (Winner) and the Tsudo was cheeper.

The Borla looks good because it doesn't have that ricer cannon muffler like other exhausts do.

Go for Borla, Tanabe, or Magnaflow for that clean exhaust look.

Where did you buy it cincinfocal and how much? I think the best I've seen it for is $220 but I can justify paying that much for a pipe and a tip...

I bought the Borla single. Quality is top notch. At first I wasnt happy with the sound I wanted something much more aggressive. But then I realized it was a 4 cylinder and not a racing car.And now and me and my neighbors are happy with the sound

Nothing. If you want performance, you'll have to change EVERYTHING. The huge scuba tank under the car is fairly constrictive.

im pretty sure it was from crutchfield also...i got it shipped for 200....

this is what im doing...i got the single...and when a part comes out that replaces the scuba...im a gonna buy it (if its affordable) and chop a magnaflow muffler into it and then it will be loud and give me some juice...but in the mean time i have a little grrrrrr :P

So if I want performance It's gonna be a pain in the as_s? And a lot of money crap I didnt know that. So what exhaust would you recommend without having to change anything?

There's not a whole heck of a lot out right now. The Speed Element/Tsudo piece is really nice. If I HAD TO HAVE an exhaust right now, that's the one I'd opt for. I like the aesthetics of dual outs, so the Borla dual is another nice option.
The Tanabe pieces are fairly nice, but only an axle back as well.
I'd suggest doing what I'm doing. Wait. I've called Precision Muffler a couple of times. They're still working on getting something that sounds good, not too loud, not too quiet, and isn't raspy with a header.
