there's mixed feelings about the pacesetter exhaust. check this THREAD to find out some more info. btw, 2.5" piping is a tad too big. 2.25" would most likely be better.

If all you want is a loud exhaust just remove the muffler, that should do it for you. If you want a nice tone and added performance get the pacesetter with the apexi n1. Thats what I would do. Remember a LOUD exhaust does not make your car fast, just loud. Just my .02

ah... fresh topic i just delt with myself, i chopped off my muffler and had a flowmaster installed, works well and is definately loud and healthy sounding... and for the most part can be done under $200 including price of muffler, but depends on the muffler you get, know what i mean? if you just want the sound, just do the muffler, if you want the power, find a nice mandrel bent 2.25 inch cat-back system... that seems to be a mild concensus around these parts
