I'm looking for some pointers here on what to replace my cat-back with. I don't mind going stock bosal, but are there any other good aftermarket brands? I like a german accent (hard with the low-rev eta but still...), but nothing too extreme. No fartpipe mufflers either. I've heard that Ansa's don't have good longevity. Looking to keep it under 300. I'd even consider buying someone's used stainless catback. Any ideas?

I spent $200 just to have my $150 muffler, $80 cat and $70 resonator welded up to single 2.5" pipe down from my dual 2" pipes off my shorty headers. Whole exhaust probably ran up to $500-$600 when it was all said and done - and these were aluminzied pipes!- Sean Hayes

He's starting out with a 2" single exhaust guys, so he doesn't need any y-pipes.
I'd recommend custom. Go to a muffler shop and have them bend/weld a custom catback exhaust for you. Go either the stock 2" or a hair bigger at 2.25", no resonator, and then something simple like a dynomax super turbo muffler. Should be right in your price range, have a nice growl to it, and last for a good while.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.
