Custom Exhaust Related Question

I have two questions for the members of this board.

1) List 3 or 4 Popular Cat Back Exhausts, Test Pipes, and X pipes that you wish were more affordable. And if they were, you would jump on it.

2) If a Professional Steel Faber/Welder builds a custom exhaust along the same design and quality as the Popular name brand ones, what would be a price that would attract you?

The reason why I'm asking is that I never mustered the courage to shell out thousands of dollars on an aftermarket exhaust. I settled for the exhaust that my car came with when I bought it. The Magnaflow one. It's okay and for the price, you can't beat it. But I definitely would love to have a more mean sounding exhaust. But I controlled myself thinking that my money is better spent elsewhere, such as rod bearings etc. I've been speaking to a couple local people that I know that do some amazing custom exhaust work for Hot rods and American cars, they can probably do something for us for a way more affordable price than what we are stuck with.

Thanks in advance.

i would pay a couple grand for a quality exhaust, but i'll never get the things i would cherry-pick from each system.
1. as light as possible (titanium construction)
2. 300 cell, high flow catalysts (no ses light)
3. resonators (depending on sound)

akrapovic has mastered the bent titanium systems and are regarded as the best.
