Erm, title pretty much says it all. I'm running supercharged w/ 6 lbs. of boost on the stock header/exhaust right now.

You can get a Megan racing exhaust on ebay for under $100. Those arent too bad. I think there was another post kinda like this a couple days ago, check around.

i agree with neon, since ur boosting, probably safer to go a little deeper into ur pockets. magnaflow is good and cheap. any name brand on ebay will probably do.

Say what?!? 100 bucks for a cat-back?!

I recommend Megan. Awesome quality stuff, damn fair price. 2.5" mandrel bent piping, and mine was $307 shipped to my door.

So would I be missing out on a lot of potential gain with 2.25" piping? A lot of the ones I like are 2.25", but the common thought seems to be that with 6 lbs of boost, I should be looking at 2.5" Also I hate to be picky, but I really don't like the coffee-can style exhausts... something like RS-R Exmag or GReddy SP2 is more like what I'd like to get, ideally. But those are much more expensive.
