He might as well get a titanium DP while he's at it, if he's considering buying some ARC stuff. And maybe a Syms or Maxim Works header.

And are you telling me that I can get the HKS CAT BACK for 300 bucks or around there? All I can find is HKS cat backs for like 750 dollars.

I'm assuming that he means $300 bucks for a used cat0back, I highly doubt you could find one for that price new. Search through the classifieds and you should come across ppl selling used cat backs
As far as locating these places on the web, gruppe-s is a vendor here so just go to the i-club home page and click on their name, or do a web search for the exhaust.
I'll give my nod to the borla hush, I bought one and I like the way it looks and sounds, and it gives decent power gains ( I had mine dynoed).

look, almost every 3inch exhaust is going to give you similar results. Instead of choosing by brand name choose by appearance and listen to sound clips (several sites have it stickied).

Old news.
HKS Hi-Power sounds right for you. Blitz Nur-Spec might be a bit too loud for you.
For more information on catback exhausts, please make use of the board's Search function for a wealth of information and discussion.

Actually I have been looking at the COBB kits. I like their CAT back and I might even opt to get the full exhaust with that programing thing so I can get the car up to 260 or 280 with minimal work.

i dont think the hks is state legal in regards to sound/noise. According to http://www.turbomagazine.com/tech/0212tur_exhaust/
the hks is def not legal. I think when they say "street" legal is only for smog since a catback doesn't mess with any cats.
