05 S convert exhaust vs earlier models

I am looking for an exhaust for my 05 MCSC. So far the only companies that have exhausts for it are Borla and Milltek. Not liking the way the Milltek sounds, and not crazy about the Borla, I am wondering if anyone knows of any other exhausts that will fit. I don't mind having to make a few hanger adjustments to an exhaust that would fit an 05 (or even something earlier). I really like the sound of the Magnaflow unfortunately they don't make one for the convert.

Anyone have any suggestions or know the major differences between the 05's and earlier or the converts and hardtops?


RIP Boo

how about a JCW exhaust Meg?

Its just nice on the Convertible, but I think you are right about the Miltek, that is too much and that is one of the more subtle sounding ones

The JCW is too quiet for me. I want something louder then stock, but not overly loud. I really like the deepness of the Magnaflow.

IMHO the one exhaust tip is way to huge. I wanna stick with two.
