Option #1: Stromung. Great stuff, but a tad expensive for a catback at about $550 with midpipe.

Option #2: Custom catback from Nate using a Magnaflow muffler and stainless tubing. He can build you a copy of my exhaust in stainless (mine's mild, it will be toast by January up here ) for about $300-350.

Anything JC tells you in this thread is rice.

When you say yours is mild, what do you mean? It doesn't last long?

It's mild steel rather than stainless steel, which means it rusts out pretty fast in snowy regions. Older Stromung exhausts were available in mild steel, so be careful to ask if you get a used one. Most of the mild steel ones are already dead though.

Blitz Nur Spec, Apex'i N1, maybe a Greddy EVO like me. It depends on what you want. You are probably best off having a custom setup done by Nate. It will be cheaper and you can pick how loud you want it. If you want to go JDM style there are several options like I listed. You can always have a stock WRX setup put on for a small bump in performance and sound.

True to form, JC lists 3 of the riciest catbacks around.
