Ok read all the posts and FAQ that I could find, found the NA mods that were in a write up at http://www.3si.org/forum/showthread.php?t=85924
Has anybody found a cheaper setup than at 3SX or DNp. Went to a local exhaust here in town and just for a section of pipe. a magnaflow muffler and two single exhaust tips, they wanted over $400. THe muffler was $174 and I found the same one on Ebay for $80. He also suggested using a down pipe and a test pipe is this instead of a catalytic converter. I live in Louisiana and as of now we have no emission testing. I went to have the car inspected and all I did was give them my license, registration, and proof of insurance. anybody bought one off Ebay or another site that was inexpensive and worked well. You can email me at sfc711 @cox-internet.com Thanks for all the help so far. Gary

If you want cheap, do it the really cheap way. Remove the exhaust completely!

If I could get away with it i would. I do not mean dirt cheap but not over $500. DNp quoted me $1100. Thanks,Gary

Buy a downpipe or the long tube headers on 3sx.
Buy a muffler(s) on ebay.
Take all that to an exhaust shop and ask for them to install it, and give you a custom 2.5" mandrel-bent catback, connecting the downpipe straight to the catback, no cat converter. To build + install the custom catback can be done for $2-300. Install for the headers or downpipe should only be another hour of labor.
