The OEM, unless you have shares in Nurofen.

Some people think a FS1E sounds better with a power pipe, too!

I think the best sounding exhaust is the Amuse. Like music, it is down to personal taste.

Invest in a decent CAI or other induction kit and listen to the roar when you want it, without being an attention with a drain hanging out the back!

With most 4-pots it's the induction that sounds better, not the exhaust. So you're best off improving that section.

Would probably be the only engine mod I'd consider.
