JUST the cats will make the biggest difference.  The OEM cats are hheeiiddeeiioouussllyy bad (especially if octane boosters are used) ...  I say go for what your budget allows and what you want!


With the want of swapable,  and cutouts it makes more sense to go full front to back.

Awesome. Thanks for the advice! I may end up just starting with the downpipes for better performance and then move to a full system later, since that will be a hefty investment.

An xpipe on V6s seems to be the way to go.  one member had good luck combining that with Dynomax mufflers, but it may be too loud for your significant other :)

have you checked out the Definitive Exhaust thread?

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Thanks! I have seen that thread and listened to quite a few videos. I haven't seen too many h-pipes and maybe there is a reason for that. I've read somewhere that H-pipes tend to give a slightly deeper tone, while x-pipes give marginally better performance. Since I'm not building a track monster squeezing every tenth of a second of maximum performance out of my vehicle isn't as much of a focus for me.


I think Dynomax mufflers sound good, but you are probably right, might be a bit too loud for me. I'm thinking something close to stock sound and with the mufflers, but then when I hit the cutouts it can roar. Or at least growl.
