if your skeptical, just have an exhaust shop fabricate a custom catback for your car. It may be a cheaper route than some of the name brand systems.

Yes and no. I had a shop fab up a dual for my MR2 once... labor was $270 (and that was 10 years ago) and still had to buy the two $150 mufflers... and they just basically welded onto my stock b-pipe. And as we know, MR2's don't have a very long exhaust route. Not to mention any generic garage will have mild steel mig welders or use flux core. Since their welding is pretty erratic at best it comes out looking like the tin man sneezed. Not the sort of quality I like when I'm paying over $300 in labor with $300~ in parts. At that point I think it's better to grab something from a respectable company, then all it takes is a few jack stands, some socket wrenches and a ton of PB blast (if you're like me and from an area with snow 5 months out of the year and they salt the roads).

Unless you have a friend that welds and likes weekend fab jobs for the price of a BBQ, 9 times out of 10 you get what you pay for... or you pay a lot and still get taken for a ride. Just been my experience. Which is why I fab up my own stuff now.

kind of long winded, but it's normal driving, not a whole lot of sound, then 1st gear full throttle and a touch of second. Rear seats folded down.

Muffler delete and on-ramp. It's from my phone, so not the best image out there, but sound is pretty good.

I think its funny how most of these are recorded RIGHT next to the exhaust...

 

A place where no one will hear them... More drive bys and interior vids please that will tell us what your exhaust sounds like to the driver and the outside world... not the imaginary guy sitting on your bumper or dragging along 3' behind the car.

Granted.

Simple muffler delete! Had my local exhaust shop chop off the mufflers and replace them with straight pipes. The cost was slightly higher than I though it would be, I had to get new tips since one of my stock ones was mashed against the muffler, but the new tips look pretty sick IMO. Cost was $193 out the door.

 

To me, the exhaust sounds insanely good. Rumbles like a beast at low rpm, roars nicely up top. Not too loud, definitely not too quiet as well, a perfect standby for anyone looking for a mean sound to their LGT while they do other mods (I personally will be doing an up pipe, intake, bypass/recirculation valve and AP before a turbo back exhaust). I have my install pics, no video yet though, I'll give it a go ASAP

 

P.S. I know the poor car is kinda dirty, it's been raining on and off for days here in the good 'ol Pacific Northwest

Just forgot to give me props for the design

Cutting the factory tips off like I did was a bit of a pain, but luckily me and my friends make up what we call sketchy garage and get things done. Glad you like the overall result.

Where did you take that pic. Is that I89?

Yep, I want to say somewhere around randolph / northfield.

I actually have 2 or 3 photos of your car.

Saw White LGT on 127 in Colchester yesterday around 4pm. Tinted and Lowered?!?

Was this you a few weeks ago during that snow storm?... on a Wednesday. Last digits on plate were 45

$5 exhaust mod. I just cut the mufflers out, welded in straight and welded the stock tips back in place so it looks stock. It has a nice cackle to it now and again. with the rear seats up you only hear a nice engine note. with the seats down it has a minimal drone, nothing unbearable. It stays pretty quiet until you get on boost, then it has a nice scream to it (according to my roommate as I drove past him).
