If u want loudness and power pick Powerflow

If u want a nice sound pick Magnex

If you have no money or are a tight-ass pick Peco (But their crap)

.. Alloys... TSW Apex ... I like em. 5 Spoke.

Any one makes a stainless steel exhaust that looks standard from the back.
Not interested in over sized pipes sticking out the back.
Price not a problem I just don?t want to keep having to replace the steel ones.

I don't know about a standard look, but the Bosal I've got looks nice from behind, doesn't draw too much attention to itsself, and the tip is welded on at the factory.

Downside for you is that it's not very loud till you get on it.

Only $300 for excellent workmanship.

I've got the twin 3" round magnex, it looks and sounds much better than the standard exhaust and its still not too big or loud.
On my days off I have a 4 hour drive down the motorway from Lincoln to haverfordwest so the last thing I wanted was a noisy drainpipe. When cruising at low revs, the car sounds almost standard.
