Stock muffler replacement?
So i've been looking up ways to spend my tax return and an exhaust is an idea.
I'm a believer in Ebay exhausts since they're cheap and it's basically a steel tube. I was loooking at the OBX one and took me a while to find a review on it. It says it's 2.3 in/out. Also saw that the stock exhaust is 2.5 in/out.
If thats the case, a 2.5 in/out from the factory, why not just throw on a 2.5 Magnaflow muffler and save a few hundred bucks?
I've also been thinking about getting a relentless 3" downpipe but then it would be 3 into 2.5 which sucks.
What are you guys doing for exhausts that don't cost $1000 bucks?

42 Draft Designs. Their system is not stainless, so it's cheaper. They can coat it for you if you'd like. You shouldn't have a problem emailing them and getting a 10% discount. Just ask when their next sale is in the email. The exhaust is $700 pre discount. Should be $630 and around $65 to ship, depending on where you live.
