exhaust...I had Flowmasters 40 installed on mine w 2.5 inch pipes from the orig. exh manifold about 7 yrs ago....added in H pipe...no transverse muffler..it cost me $500 as a 'custom' system done at Meineke...headers will also give you 'hot start trouble' unless you change starter or get heat shield.
