Well, my advice is to keep saving until you can afford a quality set.

No point in fitting something only to revert back to stock if and when they crack.

I do 1 7/8" primary tuned length 4-1's and high flow cats that will bolt straight up for $1295 shipped. Or tri Y's with cats for $1195 shipped.

If we had the money, we are pretty limited to around $800 - $900

Will be keeping the stock headers/cats in case the do crack

for the sake of $300 save yourself alot of :bang: and :realangry and get top quality EASY TO FIT kit for relatively cheap from NAAF.

Pretty sure they're Hurricane's.

Xforce has alot of fitment problems. What if you get the system, and it doesn't fit correctly? You're rural, so the last thing you'd wanna do is rip the old one off, find out the Xforce doesn't fit 100%, then install the old one again, then drive to an exhaust shop for them to fit it.

You'd have to factor in the $$'s that the shop would charge + fuel + your time and frustration. And then you might not like the sound! The majority of people love NAAF's systems, so its pretty likely you will too.

The extractors are Hurricane, yes, they bolt straight up. They come with all the gaskets, nuts and bolts as well.

Haha actually it they will. big primary long tube 4-1's make the car sound waaaay better.

My missus had the same requirement with her engine I'm building for her burnout car, "I don't care what cam you use, but it's got to be lumpy as #### when idling".
