#304970 Stick to name brand for a deep sound. The cheap exhausts you see on ebay might sound decent at first, but the sound packing will burn out and they will get obnoxious. Also nothing bigger than 2.5" or your D15b7 won't know what to with all that breathing room :thumb:

for a stock D15b7, you can even do 2.25". If you're ever planning on a swap, boost, or even a mini-me, I'd go with 2.5" :thumb:

#304981 Apexi, Skunk2, Magnaflow, Buddy Club, Thermal, Vibrant, Borla are all good brands. Basically if it's cheap on ebay and not a name brand and there's 10+ other sellers selling the exact same cheap exhaust- avoid it. For a good catback that will last, expect to spend over $400.
I'd even buy a used name brand exhaust instead of buying a cheap no-name one on ebay.

Check out Corsport, they sell quality aftermarket exhausts:

#308145 i would save up for a decent system like everyone else recommended. my cousin bought a new dc-sports header, magnaflow cat, and skunk2 2.75" cat-back exhaust for like 1000 bucks a few years back and he agrees its been worth every penny. Yes it is way oversized but still sounded amazing lol. i bought a yonaka cat-back myself since they seem pretty good for under $300
