Got it fer $85 including shipping. Then I went to the local muffler shop and had them cut off the stock exhaust just behind the cat and weld on 2.5" aluminized pipe back to the muffler. Cost $100 cash. So, I've spent $185 and have 2.5" cat back exhaust. I'm thinking of getting a "test pipe" and trying that to see if there's any difference.
It's not real loud, nice and deep, but has sumwhat of a "drone" between 2500 and 3 grand. Just crank up the stereo and drown it out. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

Before anyone says anything.....No, it's not "mandrel" bent pipe. But I don't see where it really matters on an engine puttin' out less than 200hp. I mean, there aren't that many bends in it anyway. And none of them are very sharp. IMHO</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>
If mandrel bend describes the bend of the pipes, I have a apexi dual and it's bends look just like your car...and it's mandrel... so I can't tell the difference.
