anything other than stock is illegal...

just run open block. take the header off and leave the muffler just hanging there, you should be fine.

buy the 3" exhaust off my challenger, i want to run some cutouts anyways, that should give ya the muscle car tone
other than buying a v8 i'm not sure how you will get the tone...i've heard some decent SRT-4's but that's about it for the 4 bangers at least in my experience

i have never seen an inline 2.8

my professional advice though: go to PepBoys and get their Ractive or APC muffler (2 of them) and throw them on. but only hook one up.
