Stop recommending junk. I highly suggest staying away from off-brand. If you ever move north, they will rust out. And the isolation blows out in the short term (1-2 years), rather than the close to a decade it will take for most name brand exhausts to start.

Used name brand is inexpensive, just not $200 inexpensive.

See above. Godspeed's entire product line (from HIDs, to coilovers, to exhausts) is worth more melted down and sold for scrap than as their finished products.

Thank you for pointing this out...I was sitting here reading these replies thinking "are they really recommending he waste his money on this trash"?

Might as well buy a nice muffler from here ($200-300) and get custom midpipe piping made for it ($50-100) it will sound way better.

You can search around here for 6months and find a borla catback for $250. Generally speaking though $350 will get you a nice one.

If you're going the ebay route, best of luck finding one that doesnt drone. Its a gamble.

I was once offered a 2004 STI powertrain, drivetrain, suspension, and brakes and a 2000 2.5RS rolling shell (no install engine/trans) with the original trans and engine separate for a total of $3,000.

I didn't get it because I didn't have $3k and it was 2,000 miles away. I hate myself for not going into debt for it.
