I have a 2003 Eco Cavi and im thinking of putting in a new exhaust. Anyone have any ideas of which brand and model would be the best to put in? Mainly looking for HP gain(even though there wont be much). But i also dont want my car to sound like a retarded ricer with that coffee can muffler and whiney annoying sound. Any suggestions???? Thanks!

First, I would say read up on why an exhaust sounds the way it does...read this:

As far as what to get, any system that is 2 1/4" diameter should be just fine as far as a cat-back.

if you want to save money go with a 2.25 custom made exhuast with magnaflow muffler. 2.25 is good enough for your application. sound great, look great, great increase in hp,tg. work better at high rpm.
so, ive got a magnaflow muffler mounted to the stock piping where the stock muffler used to be. over the summer i'll be getting the pacesetter headers, and opening up the exhaust to roughly 2.25 inches. is my exhaust going to be louder? quieter? or the same? also, will the tone be lower pitched, or higher? my car has the 2.2L engine in it...

well, i went and had 2.25" piping done yesterday, car is significantly louder, and the sound is a little less refined. all in all, im very happy with it. ive noticed more lively acceleration as well, and hopefully some gas mileage gains.
