Poor design!! Help!

Hey all, I just got my first third gen yesterday. When I looked underneath at the exhaust system I was so amazed at the poor design of the thing. Right angles, really long cat, and small pipes!!! What do I need to change first to make the most difference?

You need an aftermarket cat-back system. Most of these systems feature 3" tubing, mandrel bends and a high flow muffler. Most can be purchased for less than $300. Below are some sites where you can look at and purchase exhaust systems. Good Luck!
