mx3ADAM,<P>I have a Monza Pacesetter which works well, but doesn't seem like it's going to last very long. The so called "corrosion-resistant aluminize steel" has started to flake off. If you want cheap, you get it.(I believe its cheaper than a stock pipe if you need a quick fix)

my suggestion is to find a nice, straight-through muffler that you like and take it to a local (not chain) exhaust shop and have them replace the piping with 2.0" stainless steel and attatch your muffler...this shouldn't cost too much and you can pick what you want it to look like. others have determined that 2" is a good size piping if you are naturally aspirated as bigger pipes decrease the velocity of the exhaust gasses and deacrease low-end torque.

If you have the V6, you might consider the straight pipe. Just have the LOCAL muffler shop cut out your resonator, and voila! If you don't like it, you can always pick from other options mufflerwise later. That's how I decided I liked mine.<P>I wouldn't recommed it on a 4cyl though, you'll just get laughed at ;)

My setup is GREAT so far, til I buy headers!<BR>I have a 5Zigen border max 304 universal muffler. It's a straight through muffler 2.25" inlet and 2.25" outlet. I took it to my local muffler shop and he custom made me a 2.5" exhaust (again 2.5" for headers in future) and installing a Brullen 2.5" race resonator.
