In CT you have to worry about rust. Cheap metal won't last. So Cal would be a better place to skimp on stainless steel than around here.

Find a muffler shop, bring them components you want to use (quality) and have them custom make a system for you. Same $$ or less.

If you don't have a 15% pulley, I would consider spending the $ on that instead. Much more bang for the buck. It will sound the same, just be faster.

For me, faster is best.

Get the 15% pulley first. It's the best mod for the $.

Well, if it is actually stainless rust shouldnt be an issue, but for 274 I dont know how that is possible.
