A dual 3 inch system with a straight through muffler each side and dump it at the diff. Or you may be able to run dual 2.5 inch all the way to the back of the car if you want to keep the exhaust in the factory spot

you would lose waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy too much down low power with twin 3inch exhausts....get a good set of extractors and go for a twin 2.5inch system!

get yourself 2.5" full zorst with preferable pacie headers.. then if you still want it louder try and bore your cat.. (not by watching Law & Order).. it certainly has made it louder on my car..

but running a gutted cat is illegal.
twin 2.5" would be pretty ideal. most people i know are running em. about $600 from a shop not far from me. but dont know anyone in your area

Highflow cats and a set of extractors will do. You will be suprised how much the stock cats restrict the exhaust once extractors and a cat back exhuast is fitted. I myself have looked into twin 2.5inch systems, but apparently its pretty hard to do as its a tight fit.

I would stick with your 3inch, fit either pacemeaker, el gt (el xr8), or a set of genie extractors. Pacemakers would be the way to go, it will give you a crisp tough roar while your highflow cats should finish off. I think it would be a little bit to loud with a 3inch system on though, so it might be best to look into a rear resonater. Dont buy things for the sake of it, if your going to replace your exhaust do the extractors first, then exhaust. Because you may find that with the extractors on the 3inch exhaust, may be what you are after. If not, then start experimenting with mufflers and straight through pipes on your system.
