Borla Stingers will run u right about $575 with free shipping from ninosport.com, if ur willing to spend that much. Ive seen a vid of your header/midpipe combo with Borla Stingers on this site and it sounds great. U wont regret it if u can spend the extra cash...Borla is a great product. And if u choose SLP, personally i would say LM2.

If you keep the O/R X-pipe you would probably want the SLP LMIIs. The LMIs would be extremely loud and sharp sounding. The LMIIs will save a little of the deeper tone.

The LMIs hardly have any muffling and if you use the O/R X-pipe you are basically blowing straight down a pipe from the engine to the rear bumper.

i had the lm1 and lm2(right now) in my car and i personally recommend you the lm2 is deeper than the lm1 and nice at cruising but loud at WOT, but again mine is a vert so the lm1 was too loud for my car

In my opinion, nothing sounds better than flows.

For a good bang for your buck... Magnaflow can be a consideration since they are in your price range. Tho, not as loud as some other...still a good exhaust system. I will have the Steeda exhaust but there are pretty much Borla's. LMII's seem to be very nice and all the clips I've heard serve them well. Bassani is a great system, but the SS is gonna cost you some. Its really more a matter of your sound preference. Good luck in your search.
