those systems are a little raspy sounding but they seem to be decent. i installed one not too long ago, looked to be decent quality and the customer was happy with the results for a cheap price. g/l

if your not looking for an actual power gain, any exhaust will do...that being said the only factor you have to look at is how it sounds....and also how it looks....in your case any old exhaust system will do since your not looking for the performance gains...

I am looking for gain, not just any old exhuast. that's why i had asked if it were a decent system. i don't want a POS that's gonna rust or cause tons of back pressure.

I agree i usually buy the muffler i like, have them bend and fab some pipes and they weld it on. I've done it about 3 times and each time it cost me no more than $300 for everything. You don't see very substaintial gains from a low modded street car anyway. Why spend 6 or 7 hundred bucks when you're talking about 2 or 3 whp? You could lose that much hp turning on your a/c. Now if you're talking about doing some crazy mods above 250 whp you might want to spend the extra $300 on something with good bends. I use the extra $$$ to buy some suspension parts or a set of cams something that'll give me more bang for my buck. Exhaust components are all about status do you want people to go HOLY SH*T he's got a stainless exhaust or HOLY SH*T he just smoked me.
