Hooker shorty headers with y-pipe will run you $500 or so.

As for the catback portion under $300? Only if you buy all the parts and install it yourself.

On Amazon Magnaflow sells a really nice kit which I have on my car for around $470 or so. It then ran me about $200 to have a shop put it in since I don't do welding.

That's about as cheap as it gets.

Synyster52 I don't think they make them like that for our cars. Has to be custom. That's what I did.

Time to order some bends and get the welder out.

Re: Need help picking exhaust kit

Midias has it right. They don't make full kits like that. They do make universal kits with plenty of straights and bends to do whatever you want though
