Doubt you will see any real change in performance, but Borela has a "cat-back" stainless exhouse with twin pipes that looks nice and should give you a little rumble.

here's a recording you can listen too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RT4pYgn7phc

and here's a link to the Quadratec page: http://www.quadratec.com/products/17603_12_07.htm

Too loud for my likes but it might cover up any extra noise you have from a roof rack!

Dont waste your money on anything cat-back. There's no real performance difference to be noticed, regardless. I got a flowmaster 40 muffler installed. Total cost of install including the muffler was $140. Sounds fantastic, and it is much better than the rusty stock muffler.

You can even get the 40 series with twin outputs if you really want the dual.

The superchips flashpaq and the Rancho Catback muffler relocation kit are the most noticeable mods for performance I've made. I strongly suggest them. You won't be disapointed with the power gains.

The relocation gets rid of those unnessary 90 degree bends behind the axle and uses a dynomax muffler that you can barely hear at idle and on the highway but sounds awesome for around town accelerations.

That's not true. The MBRP catback has dyno proven numbers and a ton of satisfied customers.

Its no flowmaster though, nothing else flows that good [/sarcasm].

x2 on the MBRP because they sound awesome, have no drone, not ricey sounding and there is a slight increase in performance. I highly recommend getting one. I'd stay away from a dual setup, you'll probably end up noticing a decline in performance with a dual setup because you're gonna lose more backpressure than you would with a single pipe.
