I bet that Ebay exhaust is the best bang for the buck. You know the one that was all controversial a few years ago for being like $100 and being a proper 3" exhaust? Other than that Megan is good. I had one on my Evo for like 3 years. It wasn't too obnoxious inside the car and sounded nice on the outside. I currently have an ETS 3" and it isn't as cheap as either of those but I like the sound of it too.

You sure its a turbo back exhaust http://www.meganracing.com/product_d...d=228&catid=14 for 400 you can't even get it,$500 is just for the cat-back on the website

$150 for full 3 inch turbo back! had this on my car for about 4 yrs now http://www.ebay.com$/itm/3-TURBO-BACK-EXHAUST-4-5-MUFFLER-03-08-LANCER-EVO-8-9-/130595759767?fits=Year:2005|Make:Mitsubishi&hash=i tem1e681d2697&item=130595759767&pt=Motors_Car_Truc k_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr. some slight tweaking to get it to fit around the acd but other than that has held up very well for 80k plus miles including winter driving in new england.

I couldn't stand my AMS exhaust with the straight test pipe, I put their resonated test pipe on the car and it sounds great in my opinion.
