Muffler with a cold-air intake

If you don't want to read all that stuff, here is your lucky day. If you want cold air intake, go with HotShot or Stillen - Around $200-215. Now you said a muffler, you want just the muffler or the whole exhause. A muffler is just that the big thing you see at the end of the car. If you follow that pipe towards the front of the car, you'll find the catalytic converter. You need this to pass inspection. A Greddy cat-back exhaust runs about $600. A plain muffler would cost anywhere between $100-300. If you want sound, get a muffler, if you want even better sound and performance, get a cat-back, meaning bigger piping from the catalytic conerter to the muffler. Gains include:
CAI~8hp
Muffler~2hp
Cat back~5hp
hp gains are a rough amount.
