Upgrades are limitless. Just depends on your bank account, and skill level. You can just buy an aftermarket system like HKS, but that's pricey. Pacesetter is just cheezy. I prefer to build my own. I ordered a 180 degree 2" pipe from summit and a flowmaster hushpower II and welded it up, along with some other little odds and ends. Much cheaper this way. Not to mention a home made exhaust just seems to sound better!

Try look up the TKO 3" Exhaust, it sure got my vote!

I saw the best "seat of the pants" response when I went to a straight thru to the back and dumped all the turns and bends in the exhaust flow. Although I was surpercharzed, moving to a 3" exhaust diameter really did not deliver the effects that the straight exhaust delivered.

(Balance this with your ability to pay LOUD EXHAUST tickets from the local police jurisdictions.)

BTW research indicates the hotter the exhaust tubing the faster exhaust gases pass thru it. (wrap those headers!)
