I am not sure if I really need to do this but I was curious about some budget friendly manifold back exhausts out there. I want a whole system that includes a cat, I wouldn't mind a little bit more rumble but nothing crazy, not sure where to start.

Like I said, I'm not even sure this needs done, I just know it's the stock system and has enough miles on it to go to the moon and start heading back so I imagine the cat has handled plenty. Should I even bother if there are no lights on?

Rock auto is about the best deal you can find if you want to do the work yourself. Otherwise. Find a good old time “mom and pop” exhaust shop. And let them weld you up a high flow cat. And a catback. I’d recommend going no louder than a turbo style muffler. Otherwise, you’ll start to get that ricer type sound. In my opinion.

I second the Rock Auto recommendation.

Thanks. I will check out Rockauto, I have heard good things but have never actually ordered anything from them. I definitely don't want it loud, a nice rumble at start up and idle would be neat but I don't need the next block over hearing me take off. We do have some mom n pop exhaust places around here that I might check out and see what they would charge me to do some welds if need be or get the old stuff off if I can't with my currently limited tools.
