Those samples on that site sound awesome. Reckon I might ring them up for a quote on a 2.5" catback for my VS
EDIT: Oh and what is the benefit of stainless over mild steel?

I purchased my cat back setup for roughly $400 but the best investment was the pacemakers, you don't notice a difference in sound really but you can feel the kick they give when you plant the foot. They set me back $550 but l've heard of places charging up to $650 fitted for them.

Looks nicer and last longer. :yeah: Not really worth it, unless you are not planning on keeping the car for more than 5 years

mine cost me $206 at jack beedmans.... i only got it done cause the weld point on the pipe going into the first muffler broke so i had nothing after the cat for half a day.... it only has 1 straight thru muffler and sounds crap when doing under 3500rpm after that its alright... i only got it cause it was a cheapish replacement that was a bit more efficent than stock.

im not keeping it for long as ive got something better im working on.
