Which exhaust system Should I buy?

I found an SR Motorsports exhaust system. Should I buy it? Here is the link to the web site, they have a whole bunch of other **** there too: http://www.shaneracing.com/protege.htm . Or should I go with the Racing Beat Exhaust system, which seems to be made of better quality meterial? Here is the link for the exhaust: http://64.49.232.219/product.asp?3=217
Let me know what you guys think.
Thanx!

Looks good, I like how the tailpipe is not too big.

i have the SR Motorsports in my P5 and all i can say is its a great exhaust for the money. I bought mine at SR for under $300.
Its quiet at speed but deep and burbly at idle. No 3-k rpm drone and sounds really good w/ my AEM intake. Exhaust not is a beat louder than Racing beats catback. BTW, from the back it looks almost stock except for the sound...AND YES ITS MY FIRST POST>>

maitai92, does SR motorsports also make a version of the exhaust for the 3rd gen sedan? When did it come out? (it says "new" but who knows...)

I dont think they have one for the sedan but I know a few people bought the P5 eshaust for the sedan and it fit. The only thing is the exhaust tip is a bit shorter. All I can say is a great cat back exhaust for the money. You may want to contact SR Motorsport directly.

I have a sedan and the catback fit right up with no problems. Unlike in the picture, the tip does not stick out at all and it looks really sweet. Just thought you would like to know

Yeah...On my P5 the SR tip does come out about an inch or 2. I wish it was tucked in a little bit for more stock look but I love it...
Like what I said, Great exhaust for the money. I did asked the rep when I bought the exhaust regarding the dyno tests picking up 9hp at the wheels and the 9whp is w/ the intake. Which I think is still not bad...
