ST184 Exhaust

Hey, I have just been driving my friends ST162 as of late and he has an exhaust system. It isn't freakishly wake-everybody-up loud but it's very nice. I was wondering if there was a way to get a nice tone from my car on the cheap, prefrably while keeping the stock muffler because i really like the look of it?
Somebody told me that there is a second muffler in the middle of the car on some cars, and that i could swap that for some straight piping and it might sound good? Another mention was drilling holes or removing parts from inside the muffler. Are these ideas possible, legal, and will it sound nice or provide any performance enhancement (i think i'm dreaming on that last bit)
Thanks alot
Isaac

your subject is 184 exhaust, but you drove a 162 so I am not sure what exactly you are after, but I will tell you my story.
when I bought my car it was so lowered the guy before me had almost worn the middle muffler right through going over speed bumps I presume. So I was forced to get it changed for pink slip. it was replaced with a slighly larger diameter (than the stock piping) section. So just wider pipe instead of whatever toyota puts in there origionally
the car doesn't sound much different. maybe a little louder, but it rattles when it is cold through the exhaust which I don't like. A resonance thing for sure. Perhaps you could get a different type of muffler for the middle rather than just sticking a pipe section in. btw I have extractors so that may affect the resonance issue
