time to work on the exhaust need advice
Well my gs is coming along, I noticed an exhaust smell from my driver side. I looked around and noticed from the headers on the piping was tampered with. There is no cat converter and looks like a terrible attempt to customize piping to a single exhaust at a high school shop was done. So pretty much I need to have everything redone. I was thinking about doing a cat back with dual exhaust, but I am not very knowledgeable in this area. Can you guys help me out or give me some good companies to go through. I was thinking greddy or tanabi, I just want a nice intimidating sound and in the future I am doing a gte swap so will help my performance later on.

what ^he^ said. Most exhaust for our cars are upwards of 1k and have piping sized for the GTE motor, and if bought new, come from japan with a long wait. Keep in mind, if you plan on doing a GTE swap later, you're going to want a different piping size so you might as well not even bother until you do the swap (like me) or just go with the cheapest option possible

re: exhaust
For the best possible sound I went with a custom exhaust which included a 3in intermidiate pipe with a 3in free flow cat into 2.5 inch dual xl magnaflows. It has a nice tone and sound extremely good wide open throttle.......i am turbocharged with a 3 inch down pipe add to the system and it flows very well.... Total when I got it done about 500 bucks

You really need somewhere around 2.25" piping for stock. Honestly, if you do plan on swapping it, I would take it to an exhaust shop, let them fix whatever is wrong and wait until you swap the car and get the exhaust done. This will give you time to figure out what you want to do and get some research done. Also might want to check your charcoal canister, those can make it smell like exhaust.
