One piece of advice I can give you is to get your flame suit ready . Hope they aren't too rough on you

IMO though, they are both good choices

custom piping with a magnaflow muffler is much cheaper and offers the same performance as the greddy if you want a full catback exhaust.

Our cat-back exhaust flows pretty well, so either choice isn't going to net you much of a performance difference.

Our biggest restriction is really the stock y-pipe. Once you replace that, the rest doesn't do much but look and sound better.

The GReddy has a great sound and looks good, IMO. However, if you put together a muffler shop deal correctly, you can get the same performance (which is minimal) and a nice sound at about 1/2 the price. It kind of depends on what you want to spend, the muffler you choose and I encourage you to add a resonator to the package if you get it from a muffler shop.

Mostly the same info I went over with you before, but I thought I would share with the rest.
