3767 - Some have Borla, I have the Magnaflow. mnboy will, I'm sure, chime in with his solution  , which I probably would have done myself had I known. He kept pretty much the stock pipe, but replaced the "suitcase" (large part underneath) and the parts at the tail pipe by either just filling in with more pipe or Flowmaster mufflers. There is some dispute as to which part of the stock system consists of the mufflers, and which parts are the resonators. That goes for replacement systems as well. But, whatever you call them, they are there and can be replaced in several different ways - either by complete new factor systems, i.e., Borla, Magnaflow or others, or by piecing together a "custom" system yourself. There is also some debate over how much actually changing they system really helps. Borla, Magnaflow and other manufacturers claim a certain hp and torq increase, but other people claim there isn't that much to be gained in performance, just sound.
So, it's pretty much up to you as to what you want. There are sponsors of this board that sell systems from basic to just about everything. One thing to keep in mind - whatever you do with your exhaust system, you should update the intake to one of several Cold Air Intakes (CAI) that are available.
Hope this helps. I know it can be confusing, but, as said above, it's pretty much up to you. Others will chime in with what they have and how they like their systems. I like my Magnaflow and it was easy to install myself. mnboy likes his custom exhaust, but that means taking the car to a muffler shop or someone you trust with a welder. So, good luck, which ever way you go.

Does this mean you can install the Magnaflow system with no welding????

As Dave said, I'll be chiming in. I used the Magnaflow rear resonator/mufflers, replacing the smaller stock ones, however, I left the suitcase resonator in place. It handles the 4 cylinder (MDS) mode well, and has a good bark when you're on it. However, in using the M/F muffler that is supplied with the kit, the interior noise (DRONE) is very annoying in the cabin in the DAYTONA model. My idle is quiet, not throaty like a Flowmaster 40 set up, but does get much louder at WOT (wide open throttle).
I had my muffler shop weld some pieces in, but the entire M/F system does not need any welding when put on as a full kit ( cats to the back ).
baldyloxs and others enjoy their Borla system, and it comes in a two or four system (two mufflers without resonators or with them).
Good luck!

Dave, I parked my GoMango next to a new Tor-Red at Moss Brothers Dodge in Riverside. I'll post the photos later tonight...

That is correct, kOnO. No welding at all.
