One word of advice. You get what you pay for. Unless its for the ebay short shifter.

exhausts are not very cost effective unless you just want the sound.
the best hp per $ ratio you can purchase is an intake, followed by a turbo kit
if you are going to get turbo'd then you need a 3" system for ease later
if you don't want turbo and are going to stay N/A you need a muffler for the sound (the rest of the piping is alright and you won't see any gains from the piping)
if you want to get headers and possibly a supercharger... (bah) you need a 2.5" system
its all your call, that's not a bad price if it is a full cat-back, but 100$ on an intake would be a better buy

so would the above catback increast hp too, along with sound. and would it be a good buy: quality, price, gains, sound, maintnence, ect???
does the aem cai make that whistling sound when accelerating? (i like that sound)

$100??? i thought they were like $250 for the aem cai and $297 for the injen cai.

try www.pjautomotive.com (http://www.pjautomotive.com)
if you just want performance they ahve what you are looking for for 90$ no name brand very plain intake. I'll be switching to it when i get the time/money to.
also you can buy used intakes for anywhere from 50-150$ easily, i got one for a friend of mine for a total of 80$ and it was an AEM CAI
if you pay 300$ for an intake you got ripped off
the above exhaust may give you a couple whp, nothing significant though, but you will get the sound you want
I absolutely love my Intake i got it for 150$ new. people freak when my car comes up at WOT as well, it sounds very very sweet and they dont' see an exhaust.
did i mention that having a large exhaust is more likely to get you picked on by police?
