Question Cheapest STAINLESS exhaust?

Excluding the SLP "Loudmouth", what's the cheapest STAINLESS exhaust on the market right now? I'd like to do a new exhaust, but can't justify (or afford) spending the $500-700 that most systems go for.

Thanks in advance!

SLP 2OTL. Other than that, you are going to spend some money. I went with the Hooker and could not be happier with it, especially for the price. But rust isn't much concern in Texas. You could buy 2 Hookers for one Corsa, and ask yourself how long are you going to own the car?

Well, it's been 4 years so far...............and I like doing things right the first time, it's just that I don't think the $700 systems are any better than the $350 ones.

Yeah, that's where I'm leaning. My only concern is that I've seen two different pics of the Magnaflow system. The Magnaflow website has a ridiculous looking system where the passengers side pipe comes out on the drivers side and then doubles back, and I'm hoping that's just a pre-production or old photo?

Anyway, does anyone have any sound files or know what the Magnaflow sounds like?

I'd also like to get some other opinions, unfortunately it doesn't seem like many people are responding. I remember when you put an exhaust post on this board and would get 20 responses...

The crazy looking one is the V6 system, almost positive. I know a guy with a Magnaflow on his 01-02 SS. It's noticeable, but subdued, at idle; and sounds real good when he gets on it. I hear it sounds amazing with LT's.

I sure hope so. The Magnaflow site shows the messed up one, but most performance websites show the 'normal' looking one. I just don't want to order one and find out it's the one with all the extra twists and turns in it.

Thanks for your help!

reason being for this is that every day another 'which exhaust sounds best' post comes up, lol. people just kinda get sick of it, but i hear ya man. i like one of the more expensive setups, but id go magnaflow if i were on a budget. could try that dynomouth thingy also.
