I'm looking to lightly modify my exhaust and need some opinions! I've been reading the forum and it seems most people on here are interested in going all-out performance, but I just want something modest and nice-sounding that may boost fuel economy a little.
I'm currently running stock exhaust on my '97 LSC and I'm looking to make it just a little louder on the outside, yet avoid any significant drone from the inside. I'm thinking replacing the stock mufflers with universal Magnaflows and leaving the 3rd cat in place will do the trick for me. How much louder is this going to make the car from the inside? Drone on the freeway? I'm also having trouble finding a offset/offset same side Magnaflow that has the right size pipe for the Mark. Does anybody have a part number they recommend for use with stock pipe?
Also, is it a dumb idea to only replace the mufflers and leave the 3rd cat in place? Would it make the car more fuel efficient to replace the 3rd cat with an X or H pipe? Any input is appreciated - I'm a college kid on a college budget slowly learning this stuff!
