Found a used one for 300 bucks and then just took it and had it powder coated black and it was as good as new!

Don't waste your cash on exhaust systems as the power gains are minimal. You will get more from Mike's tune then you'll ever see from an exhaust system. It's all sound preference and everyone's butt dyno is different.

Good luck and happy driving!
I have this same setup but turner pipes, sounds awesome. It's actually gotten quiter over the past year and can be very civil but scream when i want her to. I love it.
