Default Cheapest SS exhaust?

Just am wondering where I can buy the cheapest SS catback. I see them on eBay for about $130 but figured they could still be had cheaper. Or, if one of the knock offs is better than the other in terms of hanger placement and whatnot. Also, recommend the ones w/ flex pipe or not?

BTW, I will be cutting off the fart can and welding my WS2 muffler to it. I am fed up with my pos apex ws2 catback. This is the 4th exhaust leak ive had in 5 years and im done repairing it.

I really wouldn't characterize that as a "leak".

Where do you live man? I honestly have not heard many complaints about the quality of APEXi products... Coming to think of it, you are the first I have heard about rusting issues from..
Where you located?

Illinois. We do have pretty extreme hot/cold times but this is crazy. The stock exhaust system lasted much longer than a VERY expensive aftermarket system. They did not only a poor quality job of the project, but a poor design as well. I had to make a system to keep the exhaust from rubbing on a nut that would create the most irritating/obnoxious noise ever. I just looked on their website and they only offer a ONE year warranty on their exhaust. **** that. If I could go back I would buy a $100 ebay exhaust in a heartbeat and it would outlast this shitty exhaust.

To be totally honest with you.
I got a 1995 honda accord ex, 5 -speed, vtec( f22b1).
I spent 150 bucks on the off brand exhaust system on ebay (spec-d tuning).
High flow N-1 catback system.

I could not be happier, its the cheapest way to go, Nice deep powerful sound but not extremely loud and annoying.
2.5 pipe, 4 inch out.

Bolted right up, the hanger in the middle was a little off but you can buy some cheap wire thread and just figure 8 it up.

But thats me...
