You can get used sports exhausts on fleabay for around $400 bucks....only a bit more than a tequipment tip's retail, and it will give you a grin every time you rev that thing over 4K rpms. The tequipment tips are not cheap. Don't get me wrong, the OEM exhaust is ok sounding, but pretty tame for a sports car imo.
I revved my car today when I drove off from my Manhattan garage, and it scared a little girl and her mother who were standing behind me.

Sweet ride Boxaboy, what's involved with deampering the front lights, do you have to replace the whole headlight assemly?

I find nothing silent about my exhaust over 3.5k RPM.
