Exhaust; Warpspeed complete vs. Piece together

So, considering the state of things:





I've decided it's time to replace the exhaust, I'm riding on stock minus the Nakayama pumpkin launcher that was on there when I bought it. From the pictures you can see the exhaust hanging low, and I hear it hit the ground and *cringe* every time. The tip is now inside the bumper, I was backing into a drive way, but it was too steep for the max and well, thats what happened. Anyway I figured I'll kill two birds with one stone and replace the whole exhaust as sort of a fix/upgrade deal.

But I wasn't sure what I wanted to go with, I like brand names and have heard good things about the GReddy SP2 system, but from what I gather I'd be spending:

GReddy SP2: $474
Y-pipe: $200
High Flow Cat: ~$125

Total: ~$800

But Warpspeed has a complete 2.5" system for $590. My question for you, is; if there is more performance and quality in the GReddy piece together, is it worth the $210 over a Warpspeed exhaust?

Thanks

I would say no. If you're looking for performance, the greddy won't open up any more horsepower than the warpspeed catback. The sp2 may sound a bit nicer and be a little better in fit and finish, but the warpspeed certainly won't fall apart any time soon. I would save the $200 and go with the warpspeed setup.

im looking into the full warpspeed as well. my only concern (i dont know where i saw/read this) that the exhaust may be longer than the original stock length. so it MAY stick out at the end of the car? im not sure and did not contact warpspeed if you do find an answer PLS let me know as well.

Also in the first picture, I think the muffler is melting/bending the bumper... But it's still able to be driven, should I try and kick or bend the muffler to fit in the hole or just leave it. I'm afraid of moving it and the whole thing just falling off and me being without a car for a bit

Greddy has a low hanging b-pipe, at the ride-height that you are now you are going to nick it a good bit.

I have the full warpspeed with a different muffler and I like it just fine. I can hook you up with a y pipe, and you can keep your muffler if you want, then just buy a b-pipe from warpspeed, I paid like 150 shipped for mine from them. then just take your car somewhere and have them cut the muffler off your b-pipe, weld it to the new b-pipe, and bolt it up to the cat, bolt up your new y-pipe I can get you and then have them put hangers on it and make sure its not too low. and that your muffler is where you want it. and you are probably spending like $350 in parts...? plus laybor, that is assuming you can still use your cat and muffler
