I few thoughts here. The OEM mod sounds quite similar at idle and somewhat similar free revving but does not have the same shriek that the M performance does while actually out on the road driving. The Akra may be a good option. I like the sound of the M performance better myself but thats subjective. Good point with it is you can add the mid pipe later and the Evo setup is a much better sound than the cans alone IMO. This is the opposite of the M performance which doesn't play well with assorted mid pipes.

To answer your question though a quick search down in the for sale section where you posted your WTB seems to show them running 2.5k and a little higher for newish cans and around 2k for the more seasoned variety. If it were me as long as the tips look good I would actually prefer them to have a little time on them as they sound better.
