No matter what you get, you are only gonna get a 1-3 hp gain so the thing to keep in mind when buying an exhaust is that when you pay a lot for an expensive exhaust system, you are paying for sound. The cheaper exhausts tend to sound more raspy/crispy. The expensive ones sound low and rumbling. My advice if you arent wanting to spend a lot of money is to get a cheap one from Arospeed, or any off brand. Then take it to a muffler shop and have them replace the stock axle back pipe w/ 2.5 inch pipe and remove the resonator. Mine sounds great and the whole deal cost me about $180.

Thanx for the tip, I'm gonna do that, I just wanted to know do the pipes hafta be manderal bent? It is expensive for manderal bent pipes, but if the cost justifies the HP gain then I will consider it. Please let me know if I should look into manderal bent pipes.
Thanx
