Exhaust... What to do?

I've got the stock setup and frankly... I want something more. I'd prefer to have stacks but I dunno bout cutting my box up. It'd be worth it but I dunno. Just wundering if you guys could give me some more suggestions on what to do... Show me some pictures of sidepipes if ya could. I wanna see some setups before I make a final decision. Help me out here fella's. I NEED GUIDELINES! Cost effiecent ways are also good btw...

Thanks

A mandrel bent tail pipe from your manufacture of choice and a straight pipe or high flow muffler would be cost effectice, give you room to add some fuel and the sound will put your factor through the roof!

A lot of guys ditch the muffler and run the pipe out in front of the back tire. That gets rid of the crimp over the axle as well as the muffler. It's cheap to free, since you reuse the last bit of the tailpipe to make the side dump. Much better flow than stock for next to nothing. The only downside is that wheel gets all sooty.

5" hole? 6" makes it easier to run a 5" Y pipe

I'd go 4" off the turbo past the tranny crossmember and 5" from there back
