What needs to be done...
Hi guys I have bveen looking at my vgarious exhaust option over the past 2 weeks and have made myself more confused and indecisive than ever. What I really want is for when I turn on the car its loud enough that peoples eyes shoot over and are like WTF was that!! .. as far as driving I wouldnt mind it louder which is why I was initially leaning towrds the valvetronic systems. What would you guys recomend for an exhaust mod that is reasonable on budget but sounds really good!?

I actually like the sound of the Akropovic system.
because its titanium, the initial startup does sound a little hollow, but when it is warmed up, omg the sound is great, very tuned sound, loud...but you would never confuse it with the Camaro reving next to you. and it saves a crap load of weight vs the stock exhaust.
just my 2cents

cat and res delete would be the best budget option. LTH would be the more baller option.
for res/cat delete theres a couple options. I'm looking to do one myself and I am leaning towards doing a straight pipe for the cats and h pipe for the res to maintain the same path as the stock exhaust, just without the cats and res. my goal is to have loud but same sound as stock.
other option you could do is straight and x pipe for a smoother sound. from what i read straight pipes only wont be as good as you want the two exhaust pulses to cross in order to vacuum each other out.
IMO, there is currently no aftermarket muffler that I think sounds better than the stock, there for I wouldnt touch the aftermarket/valvetronic set ups.

I was the first one in the USA with an Akrapovic exhaust, it sounds great. But you can not be on a budget.
