I got rear ended (lightly) enough to bend the stock exhaust about 3 years ago. Was able to get the insurance co.to replace the exhaust with the Mopar (Borla) catback system (same price a replacing orig. system). I have been very happy with it. Little loud in the low RPM's but smooths out nicely above 3k. I don't think I would like it any louder that it is now. If you have a head ache its no fun to drive. Overall, much nicer than original system, no more sneeking up on people.
