Default Exhaust...

I want headers (obviously). But that leads me to an exhaust problem. I clearly need to upgrade. But I really haven't seen anything designed for non SRT neons that looks, and sounds good.
I want a single tip exhaust that isn't HUGE, nor does it have HUGE piping. Guys have any specific ideas for me? Other than to make my own?

Put the header on, leave the factory mid-pipe and then have the rest made.

Only advice I can give you is......... Go with a Vibrant rear section, don't have a single tip.......... But sounds awesome!!

Depending on where you live, I'll sell you my Vibrant axle-back.

My next concern is that I don't want anything to loud, nor do I want anything FLASHY. My car is somewhat a sleeper as is, I would love to keep it that way. And honestly, there is really no good way to mod a neon aesthetically without making it look like ****. (No offense guys)

If you put a header onto that engine, you are going to want to find a pretty quiet muffler then. As it is, without any sort of non-performance muffler on these cars with the factory manifold, they are decently loud. A header will amplify that effect.

I'd opt for a header just to get away from those crappy cast manifolds that are prone to cracking

Then you are probably going to want to do a custom set up. The Magnaflow kits are kind of loud, and the SRT is VERY loud.

Also, the Vibrant axle back is very flashy too. haha
