I would second this. You can try and cut-n-paste an exhaust system for these cars but 99 times out of 100 you will get less than stellar results. Parts for these cars are not cheap, and for exhaust you do generally get what you pay for. Not saying you need to drop $7k+ for an Akra to get good sound, but you will not be able to pick up random muffler X for $30 and have any expectation that it will solve your drone issue. Exhaust companies spend lots of time and $$$ trying to do that and there are so many variables and combinations at play.

Since sound is very subjective you will likely have to do what many on this forum have done and try different thing, different combos, to get what you want. Tons of options available used in the marketplace, and if one doesn't tickle your fancy, sell it and try another. That is one nice thing about this community is that you usually have no problem selling good parts. But in this case, $30 is not going to cut it.
