Seriously all you need is 1) Stainless Steel 2) Full 3-inch with minimal bends and no neck downs 3) Make sure it fits. The majority of people on here pay extra for some JDM name. You would be surprised at the quality of even some of the top JDM brands. Most people will say that the best bang for the buck performance wise is the Megan Racing Turbo-back. The only way I would pay so much for an exhaust was if I really wanted to save weight and opted for titanium instead of SS.

Scroll to the end of the cat-back section.

Tanabe Concept G Blue Turboback. This is another choice for sub-$1000 turbobacks if you don't want MR exhaust stuff.

IMO Buschur has the best TBE, but thats my opinion. There are many good TBE's out there just do some research.

Tbe are all the same. Your just buying the name only. I like Ams and Buschur tbe. Buschur tbe looks stock but it loud. I like ams too it not that loud like other tbe. I think AMS is still having a sale on their tbe. But do some research on what you want.

Buschur TBE. Made in the USA, proven power, and the price is right at $825 shipped (or less if its on sale).

The megan/ebay catbacks hang a little low in the back for me....
