LOL is right. :)  Me too!

And I agree with Daun-- I don't think there's a tenth of a HP to be gained 
by aftermarket exhausts.  2.25 inch diameter exhaust tubing is *more* than 
sufficient for a 1.8 liter engine-- and certainly sufficient for a 
2.0.  For _seriously_ tuned 2.0 (and above) liter engines, a small amount 
of power might be gained in the very top-end, but without the backpressure, 
probably at a sacrifice to low-end torque.

My $0.02.

(and my car has a stock exhaust. :)
