Depends what you want. Some people just equate nice = as loud as possible which is not right in my mind Smile

If you want SUPER LOUD you want one of the japanese drag exhausts like the buddy club. A step down from them are things like the HKS superdragger and the departure 2. Those are both quite nice but a bit bulky IMO.

The Fujitsubo/Giken exhausts are pretty nice. Not much louder than stock but a very different sound, much deeper and rumblier. Pretty lightweight too. Demon's brother had one of these with 480bhp flowing through it, so pretty well designed.

Then you get the cheaper end of the market with the Japspeed and Berk Tech exhausts, which are copies of the branded Japanese models. Japspeed is loud.

Put a tubby engine into it, you will pick up a forged one for little money. It's an easy well proven and well documented conversion. Or find the v6 3.3l camry solera engine that beast is great. But not the 3l one, that's limp.
