Default Exhaust Help - Input/Preferences?

I just recently purchased the SLP Loudmouth Cat-Back Exhaust system from AmericanMuscle.com(http://www.americanmuscle.com/slp-lo...-86-93-lx.html), and realized my mid-pipe is pretty terrible(Holes, when at a high-RPM you can hear the exhaust escaping through them, and whenever I turn the heat on my eyes burn from the fumes). I'm looking for a great mid-pipe to go with this system. How difficult would it be to make one yourself(My friend's father can do welding, etc), and if not that route, could any of you provide some links to some good pipes? Emissions is not a problem, so off-road ish doesn't matter. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

theres a few, you dont really want to build your own, every bend will be a decrease in size, and there cheap enough to get one already made, pipe size and wheather X or H will make a difference in sound, flow, and power!

That one is actually in my price range(was just laid off =[). I could afford the $180, but it would leave me with no money for about a week.
Does the Summit Racing one need anything else? It looks different from the others..My apologies, I'm still learning all of this car stuff.

Edit: Just found this one, any input?

That would be fine just have someone eventually weld the center H section!

Is there a clamp to hold the middle of the H together in that kit?
Wasn't sure if the one in the picture is for that or not.

Went with the http://www.summitracing.com/parts/BBK-1507/
Hoping it's a good setup to go with the SLP Loudmouth I Cat-Back.
Should be here Friday or Monday next week. I am so impatient it's not even funny. I'm quite annoyed with the literal "Sick" sound coming out of my car(Exhaust is cut off right after the mufflers. Not sure why the previous owner decided to do that.
Oh well! Next up, suspension or gears. Hrm.
