As I recall, BRM or MES are the only two catback systems available. Here is the thread discussing both, it's the very last page. It also includes links to the company pages.

BRM was nice but I don't think it's available anymore.

I have a Megan muffler(2.5inlet/3.0dual outlets) that is polished SS that's shiny and has held the shine over the last year.

Running Greddy SP2. Has great mirrored effect and was solid with previous owner during NJ winters.

SP2 is full stainless steel...(IMO the last of it's kind for the 3rd). unfortunately it's NLA.

i would've kept my SP2 if it wasn't for my need for larger dia pipes.

I totally agree Dan. Seeing your 3rd led me to getting one and struck paydirt finding sp2 here on org.

SS MES systems are available and if you wanna invest your time into polishing them since they are T304 have at it.......I prefer aluminized steel or T409 for my tubing on my 20 yr old vehicle (1990 Maxima).....

So you have a 91 with that muffler? How does it sound? And do you like it?

My exhaust sounds beastly...but I have obx ss headers/front pipe, magna flow hf cat/resonator pipe and megan 2.5inlet/3.0 dual outlets muffler. Everything is 2.5 from headers all the way back. The header flanges required some modifications and drilling out 7 broken studs with angled drill plus dropping cross member, ac compressor and other components. My motor has been overhauled, fuel system mods, suspension/steering/chassis work/new brakes and 16x8" rims with 225/50/16 Toyo Proxes wrapped around the rims.

Here's an actual MES mandrel bent aluminized steel 2.5" tubing kit for about $125...you can't bet this! I'd sugest you buy Magnaflow mufflers but you can build any muffler in to suit your own personal tase....SS tubing kits are available as well as 2.25", 2.5", & 3" designs.....you can't bet this kit.....
