Exhaust Mod

Okay, so some of you read my lil thread earlier in the week about the 4.8is...well, now I want to do a mod on my exhaust.

How do I go about it? I dont want it to sound like a suped up Honda.

What are the costs? Does the stealer do it? Or find someone else?

I have a 3.0 2003.

Please Help!!

depends on the mod u want. some have replaced the full
exhaust, others have removed the resonators and some
have installed the X-Pipe. all of which can be done by an
independent mechanic.

A couple of ideas come to mind (x-pipe and 4.6 mufflers with oval tips for one) but read this and it might shed some light.

Get Eisenmann race and you will not feel bad next time you see a 4.8is fly by.

i'm not sure the cost of a full exhaust, but a quick search
of some of the sponsors or dinan will give u some idea.
as for the sound of ur X w/ the X-pipe, i have no clue.
someone here has posted a sound clip of their X w/ the
X-pipe, but i think they may have had a 4.6is or 4.8is

Race is louder and more HP. Reason I say race is that while you are at it, might as well do the whole hearted thing, as the price difference is not that much. Also since you have 3.0, a 6% increase in HP will help.
