I'd check with Solo Performance, since they are based in Ontario Canada and make excellent exhaust systems, they even made the system for the Pontiac Solstice concept car.

I live in Mississauga, and can speak with some authority on the subject. While "best" is subjective, Solo is without a doubt a tremendous system. My profession is Fixed Operations/Service Manager in the automotive industry. I purchased a 2007 NA in May and after reading/researching, I took a leap of faith and ordered the Solo system complete. Header, hi-flow cat and solo exhaust. With the addition of a CAI my fuel economy has improved along with performance, repsonse, sound and most of all enjoyment. The factory should build them with these systems in place... Robert

It's a pretty easy install, I've done mine twice now. I expect that if you took your car to Solo Performance they would give you a really smokin deal in the system with installation.
Tell them The Krazed Kanary sent you!

I'd suggest giving Jeff Welcome to Solo Performance. As Individual as You Are a call for a price, I'm in the states, so I don't keep up with the exchange rate, installation charges, systems for an NA etc.

Solo makes one the best exhausts on the market. Incredible sound excellent build.

I really recommend long tube headers over shorties, but that is my own opnion.

Intake, header, exhaust, and tune- like medic says- is where it's at.

Unless, of course, you go F/I.

More flow makes a difference in performance.

Ok that makes sense, well I just want my car to have a little bit more power because the stock N/A is kinda lacking in the hp department.

I can vouch for that statement too, as can a lot of folks on this forum. You would be hard pressed to find anyone on this forum with anythhing negative to say about Jeff and his crew. Great bunch of guys .

As for the install, last I knew, if you are anywhere near any of his shops, he will the do the install for free.
