Measure the distance between the rear valance of the car and the axle. Subtract about 6" so a muffler shop can get a bend in there, and then buy the muffler and have a custom cat back made. You'll save a bunch of money. No, it won't probably be stainless. BUT, you'll save about $200-300 depending on what you want, and it will work just as well. Make sure you find a good performance muffler shop to do the work.

the midas in tallahassee would install a complete custom catback (not including the muffler) for $80 give or take some for surprises. You can have them do stainless if you pockets are deep enough, but the gains won't justify the extra cost.

Just make sure that you tell the shop to weld the hangers to the EDGES of your muffler only, not the middle - they might have to rig some custom hangars for this. Otherwise your hangers will rust/break off, creating a hole in your Apexi and making your car rattle like a beeyotch.

You asked what was the BEST exhaust well my friend the BEST exhaust is teh JIC magic Ti/SuS cat-back. Yes it will run you 850 bucks but A. its light as hell B. It looks better than any exhaust I've seen C. its from FREAKING JIC!!!!! D. You'll be the only guy in your city with one probably and E. JIC doesn't make products that don't make power.
