For mandrel bending, most shops just buy a lot of pipe and then cut and weld them to fit your car. I wouldn't spend more than $350 for a custom.
It's just $500 for a freakin exhaust is too much IMHO.

reactive - $270 + install (may have shop do it, since I'd have to order it through them)
tenzo r - $375 and I'd install it myself.
now, correct me if I'm wrong, but with these bolt on exausts, is NO welding needed?

now that i think about it..... wtf is a exhaust gonna do for performance??? wanna SOUND like youre going fast? if u really want to go fast for cheap, just get nitrous. the 1hp gain from the catback wont do anything. i got the catback strictly for looks and sound

I'm pretty sure I'll go with the Tenzo R catback, just because it goes with the intake. And Reactive seems cheap. Unless someone has something to say to change my mind.

I would recommend the Apex'i WS. I just got mine this week and I love it. Sounds great, not raspy at all, not too loud either. It could not have fit any better and looks great. Got it for $400 and you can easily install it yourself.
It's my first day.

if anything the WS is too quiet.. it is only a whisper louder than stock, and barely catch a hint of a deep tone. cost me about $450.
to the jackass who *****ed about HP gains...basically there is more to an exhaust than the potential HP gain or sound. there is more tuning a car then gaining HP.
