Default my 89 GT needs new exhaust system...any ideas?

I took my car to a lube place today, and they said my exhaust system is toast. Totally rusted, and one pipe has got so bad it BROKE OFF.


So i need a fully new system.. Any ideas? I was looking at the ones on Americanmuscle.com.... and considering the SLP loudmouth Catback.... or the MAC Durablack catback.... But im not sure if they're is a better option at around that price?


Any advice/ideas?

I have a cheap knock off of flowmaster, called V-Force. Same great sound, half the price. Had them on for 3 years now, and no problems. Just an idea if your a cheapskate like me....

I hate my flows. The quality and fit leaves a lot of room for improvement. I'm going with Magnaflow or SLP.

It's a Fox... I think it's mandatory that you put flows on there.[8D]
