Sound=YES

Performance=NO....

See the thread for the Megan Mid Pipes. This would be a better bet for you as they will be lighter, give a more aggressive exhaust note, and slight gain in HP...

i want to keep the stock exhaust since it isn't very restrictive from what i've read. I just want a little more sound than stock.

i am planning on keeping all cats, and removing only the resonator.

Hopefully, my exhaust will be a little more audible.
