Stock is very good.
Unless you are wanting more sound, or are willing to go for the whole package: LT headers, high flow cats, etc., the stock system is hard to beat. If you're interested in more volume there are many options, I have the JDM Silver Bullet catback & it sounds really good, as does the Bassani & others. Good luck.

Try a search on exhaust, it has been covered in so many ways, could make one dizzy.
I wanted a different exhaust on my '02 L but haven't found what I need in one package for a bone stock L. I don't plan on racing, want a little louder, more aggresive sounding exhaust. Almost all aftermarket catback systems will do that.
On the other hand, I don't want to lose even 1# of low end torque for an exhaust. When I find one (cat back) that guarantees no low end loss, maybe even a gain and sounds great, I will get in line to buy it. For now stock isn't bad at all.
Good Luck.

two total stock trucks at a shop here in vegas had a little test. one had a full bassani system, (LT headers, high flow cats and cat-back) the othere stayed stock. on previous races the trucks stayed even. after the bassani was installed, that truck won by 3-4 car lengths every time. (and it sounded SOOO good while winning).....chris

Bassani
Ask the guy I passed in full boost this a.m.
He was cruisin with the top down in his little Mitsubishi whatever. I passed him on the right side and saw him jump in terror about six inches straight up! Don't know if it was the Eaton or the Bassani but I can tell you this... The combination of Fast-Air intake and Bassani is lethal.
