Just what is it about an exhaust that makes it worth $1,500 or so that so many here pay? I mean think about it, we are talking steel pipe here folks!
I did a little lookup and 304 stainless runs under $10 a linear foot for 2.5" OD.
darrinps, did you add an X of H pipe in that setup? Without this, the exhaust can't be pulled from the manifold/valves efficiently. Not that you can't get better sound and some more power. I'm all for creative solutions if you can't find the right exhaust for the right price. I did a muffler delete on my Mazda3 and it sounds great for $40.

I have purchased used name-brand exhausts on ebay before with good success. But would be hesitant to purchase an unknown used product.
