    any custom muffler shop should be able to do if they bend their own pipes (many do not) the OEM parts are sky high and hard to find. I checked a new exhaust system awhile back and it was over $3000 just for the two pipes coming off the motor. I believe the Cat and muffler OEMs are both over $500 each.

    I can definitely have my buddy hook me up with a generic cat/muffler. I was just wondering if anyone knows of a specific type/brand of aftermarket system that works well and potentially increases horsepower for the stock VX. I'd like to have some sound as well. Just not the ricer sound I'm getting right now. lol

    If you're getting rice off this 3.5, it is definitely a garbage muffler and plumbing. With the right set up, you can sound like a baby 5.0.

    I wouldn't expect a lick of hp+ though. I think it is due time that old wive's tale went away. Leave the air intake and exhaust swap big fish stories for the Civic crowd. A 2-4hp boost (if even) from air flow is hardly gonna win any trophies.

    Anything but the wrong one.

    Of course, much of the signature comes down to the actual muffler itself. But, most people do not realize just how much the bending/mandreling affects signature sound. A shop that understands this should know how to conform a custom exhaust to your liking.
