Why get an aftermarket exhaust?

1. Tone (can't get much better than the OEM here, IMO)
2. Loudness (I don't want to draw too much attention so I wouldn't want it louder)
3. Looks (this is the only thing they botched, IMO; the mufflers look like big nuts hanging down ready to scrape the road)
4. Power (OEM is pretty good so not too much gain here w/o cat delete, tune, etc.)
5. Weight savings

The only thing that would prompt me to change the exhaust would be the looks. Though I think I'd rather spend the money on a diffuser that covers up the mufflers.
