I have a 2005 2.3L I4. Just got a Magnaflow muffler and high-flow cat in. It cost about $750 total for the parts/labor. It's a little louder at low revs than I'd like, but it definitely frees up some power.

Originally, I had been waiting for Magnaflow or Gibson to release a model-specific cat-back system, but now realize that a custom made system was a better way to go--for a couple hundred more, my system has a $400 high flow cat.
