But I'm not sure what would be better for my 00 Conti. As you know, it's one cat forked into a dual exhaust. The exhaust is stock except for some little tips that came with it. I don't want to look like a goon and just slap some new tips on it,

I've been thinking about Cherrybomb glasspacks or Thrush Turbo, but i'm not sure about any of it.

Don't really care about the sound, the car is already pretty quiet.

anyone have suggestions or experiences with anything good?

Hit up Geno in the Vendor Section "Lincoln Motorsport" He has a couple Exhaust set ups that I believe work on our cars :) Plus he'd be able to answer some of your questions

Youtube it, lots on exhaust clips. All depends on the tone your looking for.
