Complete tuned exhaust systems

...Maybe Ben can give me a hand with this; Besides MKB, whose system I've seen on their site, what are the other alternatives to MKB? I'm looking for a complete system from the block down,(headers, cats, muffler,etc) that is not going to be too loud, as increased noise is not what I'm looking for. Pricing would be appreciated. (ball park numbers would be acceptable.) Also, if anyone knows of a good shop to do the installation in the S.F. bay area, please let me know. Thanks in advance for the input.

I don't think that Bengy CAN give you a hand since Ben used to have RB Teck and can't hear very well after that. He has changed the mufffffler since but the damage has been done.....

Brian,

It's funny that a thread about exhaust is filled with noise. We're actually making a complete exhaust system for my car right now. Hopefully, after testing is complete, it will be available to the public around September.

This exhaust system will not be too loud, but will definitely sound better (not to mention gain approx 20HP). We also have an affiliate shop in Mountain View, that can do the installation for you. Feel free to email me, or wait until I post more information as it becomes available.

Thanks

Ben
