I just got it as my first car Thursday so everything was like this when I bought it. I just don't wanna bring it to a shop and get charged a couple hundred for something like that lol you know any cheap exhausts that would sound pretty decent on these?

Some will tell you magnaflow, others will tell you flowmaster. Then there's those who think everything but stock sounds like crap. I myself liked mine best straight piped (with a cat) but I've got a long tube header, 2.5" pipe, and a 4"x18" tip. Get on youtube and check some systems out.

Popular Mufflers: Magnaflow, Flowmaster 40,44,and 50, cherry bomb glasspack, thrush welded, spintech, and the almighty straight pipe

Keep in mind that most states have noise regulations and you WILL get pulled over for loud exhaust. I got sick of it so I threw a cheap muffler on. The 40s and magnaflows seem to have the right amount of volume and tone.

Ordered my APN header. Now I need to order my cat, muffler, and tailpipe.

Will these fit together well?

I want to get the super 40 muffler.

You're paying way too much for the cat. Scroll down to the bottom of the cat page with all the brands and click on thunderbolt ceramic spincat. $40. Not good enough? Click the metallic option. $65 and probably the highest flowing cat on there. 300 honeycombs per square inch, the ceramic one is 400. I have the metallic core and love it. I ran around straight piped with it and it didn't do a thing against sound quality, I got compliment all the time.
