I got a set of Coated Hooker 2055's and Coated Y pipe for about $590. I also got a carsound HighFlow Cat for about $125 to my door. Also the borla catback system for about $650. Virtually everything is three inch mandrell bent tubing and the catback is stainless steel with removable cut-out plates. I know this exceeds your budget however this set-up kicks increadable ***. I love it do death. Looks great, sounds great, and gave me at least 30 more HP. I am a full time college student but I just worked my *** off, saved like hell and decided to only go for the best. If you want to save some money, try not getting your headers coated or get the hooker or flowmaster cat-back. I hear they are great and are all 3in mandrell bent tubing also. The only drawback is that they are aluminum, but thats not a big deal. The main reason I optioned up to the borla is because of the stainless steel tubing, and the adjustable plates(and no one else offers removable plates). Also, I have been hears all this talk about the banks system, but I don't like the fact that it is dual outlett on the driver side only. There are so many options to choose from, so make sure you do you homework.

for the price you will pay for the Borla I would look into the Banks kit..it is less than half the price,sounds better and performs great...You can then use the $$ you save on the exhaust system and get some other mods!

I agree that the banks system is real nice, but I just can't stand the dual outlets on the driver side. If they the dual outlet on each side and then the cut out plate system. Then their system would deffinitly be the product of choice.
