Talking Want deep, throaty exhaust on my little 1993 automatic

I'm on my second mr2 (my first was a beautiful 92 automatic (i can't drive stick) with only 14,000 miles on it! Had it for 11 years until it got stolen (i'm guessing because of my snazzy Enke rims) in San Diego in Dec 2003.

Well I found a beautiful white 1993 non-turbo mr2 that I purchased on eBay. Solid, feels & sounds great. I don't want to do much modification, but I was considering replacing the exhaust system with something that would give me a lower, throaty rumble sound (I also own a 64 Galaxie and love that deep muscle car sound!). I've been researching Magnaflow, Flowmaster, Borla, Berk Technology etc, but can anyone suggest something for my Automatic? Is around $500-600 reasonable or am I looking at more?

Any mr2-ers in Chicago have any advice on where to go? I've watched really cool mr2 exhaust clips on Youtube.com and read lots of posts about Motoria, GTSchris, GReddy, Berk exhaust that spits flames (can this really be true?!!! awesome!). Any direction would be great from my fellow mr2 lovers. I kept my last mr2 original except for the tires/rims, but I've got a little extra money now and would love to get some better sound, no coffee can exhaust, but something deep, throaty and sexy!

HOWEVER, this picture below is not what I'm looking for--with all these potholes and bad winter-ruined streets in Chicago I will for sure bottom out.



kinda diggin this look!!-->>
What-O-What can I do with my little-ole-automatic?

that looks like a really nice exhaust , i wish there were more options for Mk1's.

but back to this at the bottom of the photos it says

Note: For non-turbo cars headers are required to match the proper flange. As seen HERE.
just wondering since the OP's car is non turbo

That just means that he would need to get the header too or have the exhaust mani adapted to work.

The exhaust is designed to bolt on right where the ex mani ends (before the cat). The opening to the cat is like 4" across so something would have to be done to make it mate up.
