exhaust help!!!, HELP PLEASE Options

[dschack]

alright, basically made up my mind to get an exhaust, i thought about going with the greddy that is made for the car but i dont really feel like spending 500 bucks on my exhaust.

SO, i need help on what to do, i want to get a good exhaust thats under 100 bucks, that is going to sound good, i know some of you other 6gen celi owners have em, ive also read on here about resonators, do i need to get one, is it going to sound like a turd hooked up to a coffee can if i dont or whats the deal with that?

looked at a tuner exhaust at Advance Auto, i think it was like 70 bucks, thinking about doing that, and maybe getting rid of the cat, let me know what you guys have done

appreciate it -dschack

ok so heres the lowdown, i checked and under my hood there is a label that says 5f-se, I assume thats the motor style you were talking about, SO, the real question i have is can i have everything stock from the cat (keeping the cat) removed and then put on the tuner muffler and have it sound good? and i live in san antonio, i know a good guy that did my truck exhaust that will do it pretty cheap, and hes an excellent welder

i also wondered if this car had a resonator stock? and if it does would it sound better to remove it or leave it on with the tuner muffler

i also thing im gonna go with what DEATH said and forget the de-cat, i like passing inspection haha
