If you just need the muffler(s), and not the entire Cat-back exhaust, then you're better off getting OEM. Of course now you have a good excuse for getting an aftermarket exhaust.

The exhaust is a 'tuned' system. As such again you should match OEM if just replacing a muffler, or go with an entire new Cat-back.

Just save up and get a new aftermarket cat-back. Or buy a midpipe. Paired with the stock exhaust it sounds very similar to stock (slightly better) and you gain a decent amount of power.

Agree with the other posters, save your money and get a proper cat back. I have the Greddy SP2 and love it. Sounds great. But there are a lot of options out there so do some research.

I saw some badass muffler tips on ebay and they claim to be 5+ horsepower! So if you add 2, you get 10+ horsepower!
