Default OPINIONS PLEASE This is what i plan on doing

so this is what i have planned as a cheap exhaust mod for now
Amazon.com: Magnaflow 10445 Stainless Steel 2.25" Round Muffler: Automotive
also u bend delete, and some nice tips, i dont want my car to be super loud or anything, just a tad bit louder than stock
i also have a question, If i get the u-bend delete done, do they just replace it with a staright pipe and then just drill a hole for the 02 sensor??

i cant say how it will sound with just the res.ubend removed because i had a CAI put in at the same time...sorry..

i will say the combination of all three really added the sound at WOT, and even a bit at idle.
