Lacks that throaty sound

[Unevakno]

What does a configuration like this cost to have installed (including parts & labor)?

Depends on your installer. The guy I used is a perfectionist so he didn't cut any corners. My set-up was about 6 bills. All stainless steel piping used from the mufflers to the rear axle and the cat deletes. He even re created the stock baffle plate with rectangle outlets into the oem tips in the bumper. The mufflers are painted black for a factory appearance. Now the car has the sound a R-spec should have without being too loud.

Long tube headers and high flow cats would probably get a real rumble going under acceleration but I don't know if there are any aftermarket options available...

Thank you! The car has 2 Magnaflow 14in body mufflers, secondary cat delete and the rest is stock. Sounds great under acceleration, quiet when cruising and minimal drone. Its perfect! I get so many compliments even at the dealer.

Would you have any part #'s for those mufflers by any chance?

I put out some interest feelers on long tube headers but my exhaust shop guy hasn't found any available, I think at this point the only way to get them is custom made.

How much would something like that cost?

Here's a youtube link for my exhaust setup. All I did was change mufflers

Not sure I have asked a couple people I know and the tenitive answer is 700-1000 dollars, as it would have to be fabricated on the car to get fitment correct which means lots of extra work.

I do not sir.
The 14in body mufflers are pretty much standard used Magnaflows.

that's basically my setup but I have the oem baffle plates with the rectangle tips in side the bumper mounted finishers so that you cant see the mufflers just like factory.

The factory exhaust manifolds are actually a good free flowing design. Long tubes would not work well without a tune and would make the car sound like something it is not. Also with the long tube headers the cats would have to relocated to a area may cause fitment/excessive heat issues. I would definitely consider having hi-flow cats fabed to fit.

Good information. Thank you. In my experience with cars fitted with long tube headers and high flow catalytic converters - the car sounded pretty close to stock when driving around normally. However, give it some pressure and it sounds totally different. I think the Tau V8 would sound pretty good this way. However, that's only one man's opinion...

Love this car but I wish it had more of a throaty sound....anyone do anything to address that? Just curious.....

Replace the resonator with an X pipe, Electronic exhaust cutouts just ahead of the mufflers. Great throaty growl, loud as hell when you get on it and the cut outs let you "quiet it up" when needed. I actually blew past a cop (he didn't get a good look) I closed the valves when I saw him behind me. By the time he pulled me over he apologized for getting the wrong car. The one that went by him was loud. HAHAHAHA!!!
