LOUD
-----------
APEX'i N1
DC Sports SCS
Skunk2 Mega Power
Tanabe Super Racing Medallion
RS*R GT2
5Zigen Fireball

MEDIUM
-----------
GReddy Evolution 2 (EVO2)
Megan Racing

QUIET
-----------
Magnaflow
APEX'i World Sport 2 (WS2)
GReddy Sports Performance 2 (SP2)
RS*R Ex-Mag

hey, thx for all the quick replies. while 'inexpensive' is always good, i really wouldnt want to shell out $$ for a significantly inferior product with short life-span; not particularly into loud or ratty exhaust. i'd prefer the apexi ws2 but i am pretty much hoping i can scrounge an OEM on the 'wanted' boards for minimal cost, seeing as im sure someone has one lying around

oh btw im at 186mi without a muffler and 'leaking' cat back. unfortunately the demands of a work schedule require that i cannot simply bench it until this is fixed. how much longer before this starts to do some serious damage?

ya dood what sfazngiants said check out craiglist for a oem, even check out ebay for one, and try out the junkyard, they might have one in good condition for a extremely cheap price.
