Sick!! Now IMO don't put an aftermarket exhaust on it unless you find one that sounds somewhat deep. There are a few Elises around Ballantyne that have aftermarket exhausts and they sound SO SHITTY. I mean it is a Toyota 4 banger engine so it's never gonna sound like a V8, but damn... there's one in my neighborhood that I swear is a fartcan Civic every time he drives by. It completely ruins the car.

It completely ruins the car. too late, its already got a pretty lame sounding exhaust setup on it. It sounds better than stock, but every time I hear it I think of a riced out honda. The exhaust will definitely be one of the first things I'm changing. What do you think of this setup... <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://vimeo.com/2148195">http://vimeo.com/2148195</a><!-- m --> Also big thanks to Paul, Blair, Lee and anyone else who bought some of my paintings!!! That $$$ went towards getting this

That one definitely sounds decent. If you can find anything with a Magnaflow muffler or resonator on it it's going to sound really good. It would take some of the rasp out of it and give it a deep tone.
And no problem buddy! You've certainly worked hard for it, keep it up and you'll be buying Ferraris soon

All I'm going to say is if you park on campus, park on an end spot. A little scrape might mean the whole clam would have to be replaced...$12,000 later for the repair, it can be as good as new! ENJOY IT
