Get a catback, get a midpipe, and install them yourself.

btw, everybody on earth who doesn't have down syndrome is capable of installing a catback (and maybe even some who do have it, like jonbeast.)

your friend got ripped off somehow on that deal unless he got a midpipe + install for that price..

Midpipe is a little tricky to install because the header bolts are a PITA....but a catback....hell, my grandma could install one. And she has no arms.

Exhaust on its own isnt that amazing.. 10-15 hp with a mid pipe, mabey a little more if you do headders back. The sound is a big part of it.. but the most important part of it is that it allows your engine to breathe a LOT better. Exhaust will net you a slightly higher gain from all your intake mods (CAI, TB, Plenum, etc). You are not going to get the complete effect from intake mods untill your engine can properly breathe.
That's the route I took...

i paid 520 for my catback
130 for the o/r H
and 60 for the MIL's
so , youre asking me if the 5-7 hp for 700 dollars was a good buy? NO
but, if youre asking me if the sound and enjoyment i get from my car EVERY TIME I: start it, drive through a tunnel, pass a car on the interstate, accelerate slowly to 4500rpm, drive next to tall buildings, or let other people hear my car is worth the 700 dollars the answer is FVCK YES!
