If your looking for direct bolt on...might be helpful knowing what header is on the motor?

Why does direct bolt on matter?

You're exactly right, I rather have a clean install piping where I can just pick up something nice during my engine swap. Place around the bay area charge an arm and a leg for some NICE Piping. I don't want to just put something where it just runs, but nice bends and everything.. Need other advice

There may be no avoiding going to a muffler shop to get the exhaust constructed so its a direct bolt up.
With my EG i bought a simple cat back, (borla), and had a flange welded to the front part of it so it matched the cat.
Some shops are well versed in making custom stock looking exhausts too.
It might not be as expensive as you think.
FYI I live in the bay so I know what the refs and police look at.

I got an adjustable test pipe! It eliminates having to get welding done. Gues it also depends on what headers are you going to use!

I'm assuming he's in California where a test pipe will get you 10 to life, JK, but it definitely won't pass.
