I have a Corsa Axle back exhaust on my 07 and a Roush sort throw shifter.

The exhaust is very nice sounding on acceleration and idle but I'm not really a fan of the rapapapap when I down shift.

As for the shifter, its a very nice feeling shifter, can get a little sticky down shifting or moving into 5th but overall I am happy with it.

Love my Hurst Billet Shifter, yes it's "notchy", yes it has the "hurst rattle" at certain RPM's/Speeds, but it looks and functions great.

Ditch the Cats if you haven't already and stick with Stock mufflers. Once I put the Long Tubes on the FRPP Stinger's were obnoxious so I put the stock mufflers back on and love it.

I have pypes violators coupled to a Mac Prochamber.. Nice deep rumble, can still hear it but its not deafening, and you definately know it when you hit the loud pedal.

As for shifters, I have the steeda tri-ax. I had one in my 95, 00 and 03.. I love it. Personally I feel its better than hurst, mgw etc. Just another option

This......is hands down the best VALUE, but certainly not the most budget oriented exhaust.

The $350 Barton shifter seems to be the hot ticket now so I'm saving up for it.
Mufflers? You could try either the FR500C or the Borla S-type. Both are a bit louder than stock without being obnoxious.
