$400 for a stock exhaust that's bullshit, go to another shop.
You can get a custom one that will sound good for cheaper then that. A 99 Si cat back won't bolt up to your car, I know you can use the muffler but not sure on the rest.
If you get a custom system, go Magnaflow. They sound good and aren't too loud, just make sure you get a resonator.

Nope...don't do it. Get a catback (prefab peices can be found for that kind of money)if you plan to spend that much. If you are trying to stay stock try another muffler shop, 400 bucks for an OEM type replacement is crazy to me.

Agreed. And A'PEXi WS cat-back is only $405-$445, pending who you get it from.

get a ebay muffler and get a custom piping it should run u about 100-120 installed. U can also get a catback for about 250.00 and u can do it yourself. either way its a win-win situation. Yay!!!!!!!

For a stock exhaust you could unbolt one from a junkyard for like 20, or buy someone elses on the board for prolly under 100. New parts won't cost you mroe than 150. Install is pretty damn easy if you have the means, othersie don't pay more than 100 for a shop to do it.

Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't 2" piping with a stock muffler (I'm thinking of the straw size ones) create unwanted backpressure?
