SpeedTech 2.5 "quiet" X-cellerator. No aftermarket exhaust will be as quiet as stock, however, our 2.5 quiet is about as quiet an aftermarket exhaust as you will find. Many are very loud. Our X-cellerator series features a fully internal perforated "X-Pipe" design for dramatically improved sound over OEM.

Also, there are several reviews on our testimonial web page linked below.

You will love Kevin's tune. As others have said an exhaust also goes a long way with a tune, I have one of John's SpeedTech Loud 3" X-pipes and absolutely love it.

I would account for possibility of an upgraded clutch before the exhaust. The extra HP from my UMW tune made my stock unit slip. It had about 25k miles. As soon as it slipped I reprogrammed factory tune until my upgraded clutch arrived. I got clutch upgrade from Kevin as well.

Some say that it needs to be changed, others don't. I guess it depends on the overall condition of the clutch and it's driver.

Could be. I bought the programmer with the tune. 15 seconds to swap back to OEM. When I switched back to the factory tune it did not slip under full acceleration in any gear. I chose to keep the UMW tune since I wanted the LWF anyway. Point I'm trying to make is it was not on the way out.
