I actually had a shop just go in, cut off my muffler, and weld on two straight pipes that used the stock tips out the back.... NO, and i mean NO, exhaust is gonna yield you much HP with this car, so exhaust is really about weight... and sound.... i love the sound of my car now, im gonna try to get videos taken for you guys so that you can hear it... but if you dont mind it being "a little loud" then just go ahead and do that...

^ correct... if you want it loud, go for my set up or a full exhaust... if you want more power out of this, buy a different car... there is nothing to be gained by what you are wanting to do honestly... it might be slightly, and i mean slightly, louder, but nothing too noticeable..
