Default Best deal on Steeda axle back?

We just picked up my wife's new '08 vapor silver GT coupe and (of course) the exhaust sound is wimpy and she wants more rumble. She really likes the sound of the Steeda with the offroad H pipe. We are doing her appearance mods first (already ordered the shaker hood, cdc classic chin spoiler 3d Carbon side scoops and stripe kit) but the sound is so pitiful I thought I would put the axle back on and then do the H pipe and cai/tune later. I would love to put the H on now but I am sure it will throw a code and until we get the cai/tuner kit I am just going to wait....Anyway, Can any of you folks tell me where the best place to get the Steeda axle back is? It lists for$429.95 plus shipping and tax (Fl resident)and I believe Brenspeed will sell it for $429.95 including shipping. Any help is appreciated!

PS if you have a clip of the Steeda axle back (other than on the Steeda site or exhaust guru post) I would love to hear it. Thanks!

Get the frpp stingers instead.....paired with the o/r is very deep and one of the best combos around

+1 on the FRPP stingers. they sound better then the steeda's in my opinion, i will be going with JBA long tubes next with an offroad h pipe and cant wait to hear what it sounds like then, sounds awesome with just the stingers now tho.

Interesting opinions. The problem Ihave is that even though I have not heard all three of the exhaust FRPP, Borla stingers and Steeda in person, the Steeda's sound much more deep and less raspy than at least the Borla's I have had to find. These three valve motors just don't sound very muscle car like with many/most of the exhausts available and my wife is pretty particular. She is used to the sound of my Z06 and it is going to be hard to get just the right exhaust for her but so far the clips of the Steeda's sound by far the best. Does anybody have a good clip or two of the FRPP's? Here are the clips of the Steeda's and Borla's that I have found.I do recognize that media clips are not the best way to pick an exhaust but short of chasing people down on the road it is the best we can do. Thanks for the input

Bill's car does sound very good. Now here is the follow up question. What are the tip differences look wise? Which tip looks better FRPP/Steeda/Borla? Any close up photos of the various tips to compare.

I have searched the forum extensively and I have read claims that the FRPP and Borla Stingers are the same exhaust. I have also read that the Steeda are the same as well. Has anybody positively confirmed one way or the other on any of these axle backs?

borla/frpp are the same, just a different label.....the steeda I have been told are slightly different but are essentially the same as far as I know.

Thanks but I really want the Steeda not FRPP. If nothing else, to be different. Any suggestions on best price for the Steeda version.
