is there any way to modify the stock muffler to make it sound good i know you can gut the cat but that doesn't really add any sound i want sound without the $200 bucks for an aftermarket one

Don't even bother with it.... I picked up a stock GS-T muffler for $60 shipped off of DSMtrader.com last summer. It bolted right on and gave the car a little bit of rumble. It gave me a decent performance upgrade and the neighbors still like me.
Edit: If you pick can get a GS-T muffler in complete stock form, there is no need for cutting or welding. It will be a direct bolt on. The GSX muffler is different though. For a GSX muffler, you would have to cut and weld it on.

I paid like $75 for my flowmaster 40 series muffler and 30 to have it welded on. I'm thinking about adding a glasspack because it can get quite loud at freeway speeds.

Yah, the GS-T muffler bolts right up, and sounds even better than a GS-T cause 1) You don't have a turbo, so exhaust is louder and 2) You don't have the extra resonator on your catback. Ask around at rice shops every week and you should be able to find one for $50

leave cat. alone, it can cause problems if gutted with your back pressure. I have Greedy Evo cat back, and sounds great, but lost a little lowend and gained a little high end. Depends on what you want.

The GS-T exhaust piping is the same size as ours. All you need is the "axel back" part of a GS-T exhaust. It will be a muffler with about a 1 foot section of piping sticking out the end. On the end is a flange where you can just bolt it up to you exhaust piping, after you remove your stock muffler.
