I Need A Little Advice, I've Always Been A Truck Person & I Don't Know To Much About Foriegn Cars. Oh And By The Way, I Love The Hell Out This Baby. Thanx.

Flowmasters will certainly give you the cheezy F&F sound if that is what you are looking for. Be sure to search for how to blow out the fiberglass with water on the web as that will surely give you the "pissed off bees in an aluminum garbage can" sound you seem to be wanting.

Now if you want a good deep throaty exhaust note I would suggest that you consider a Racing Beat, Borla, Greddy, or similar make.

Not trying to flame, but it sure sounds like I am, but do whatever suits you best as you have to be happy with the result not us.

Easy with the caps lock man. You can type normally and we can all still read it.

Drill exactly 100 holes in your stock cans - should do the trick nicely

I personally went with a Borla cat-back exhaust, which does exactly what the name implies it replaces everything from the cat back to the exhaust tips. Borla and others do make just replacement mufflers, Borla calls theirs "Boomer" exhausts, but I do not know if they are right for the 8. There are plenty of sources for info such as this, so do some research to see what is right for you.

Oh, and CAPS are killer on the eyes...go easy on them. Best of luck finding what you are looking for.
