Exhaust/Intake Options
For my 2010 V-Sedan, I went ahead with the Airaid CAI, but for the exhaust, rather than go with the available systems offered through say "Summit" or the other aftermarket distributors, I went ahead and ordered a 3" cat-back system from Stainless Works, but i specifically asked them only for the piping and the X-pipe, without mufflers. I received my cat-back without the mufflers, and went to my local muffler shop, where I installed a pair of Flowmaster Original 40 series (the first flow master muffler ever made) and let me tell you...this thing sounds wonderful. Much more reserved than the Corsa or Borla systems I've heard where it sounds so raspy and hollow. The flow master mufflers have a beautiful idle, and rev up nicely. The interior resonance is not bad at all, it purrs nicely, although it's definitely more noticeable than stock. In my opinion, this is the best option for someone looking to make a custom exhaust system. My local shop "Mr. Muffler" charged me 350$ for the pair of mufflers, and that includes labor and tax to weld them up and center the tips. Great deal, very much impressed with it.
