Sounds good to me.  I actually know a few people who have made (or had made) their own exhausts on Hondas b/c they didn't want the bling bling fart can w/ a 4 inch tip hanging out the back.  IIRC, they got the total deal for about $275.

I was thinking of doing the same thing, but with a apex n1 muffler. Would a 2.5 inch piping be too big? I don't want to lose the torque. How big is the stock piping? I don't have much money either cause i have to pay for school and work only part time.
