personally i would still do a header back exhaust.  if i were to do it again i would spend the extra money on a good exhaust.

can not find the exact one, but it was a header+catback system.  2.5" piping with a 4" tip.  it was an N1 style cat back.  then i got some crap "high flo cat/ testpipe" that was something like $35 shipped. the header and catback was $185 shipped.  i was on ebay looking for it and found a couple setups that should be a little better, and are relatively cheap.

this is the one i bought, but when i bought it it was listed as 96-00 setup. thats not to say they wont list another.

here are a couple others that either might strike your interest and or may be better exhausts.

rule #1 of cat-back exhausts and headers: if it's on eBay, and doesn't have an actual brand name, it is garbage

Those headers (except the megan one) will most likely crack.
Those test pipes will rust.

you are really going to regret buying any of those in about 6 months to a year, they sound like garbage, with maybe the exception of the megan one... but, if you're going to spend that ~$500 much money on that megan exhaust, you should really check into other systems. If you want it to be like that and loud, you should check out a real apex-i N1, it will be around the same price if not less. Another pretty good kinda loud sounding exhaust i would recommend looking into is the GReddy EVO2. And also, check out some Magnaflow exhausts, and skunk2.

Apex-i N1

Magnaflow

skunk2 mega power

i couldn't find an EVO2 exhaust and didn't feel like looking anymore.

im not so much into the exhaust being loud like most of those are.  im looking for a deeper sound.  im more into muscle than rice, but i've got both, and i really like that deep sound.  that exhaust just seems to have the right pitch and deep tone to it for me.  sure i can look around to see if i can find it cheaper, and i probably will, but that megan exhaust just seems right.
