I have the same exact setup through Tim and it has been great for me in my 1g with a 20g. It does not have a stiff peddle and it was good in traffic. I would get another Southbend if this one ever goes.
Although I have a 1G, I could attest for the quality of the 3" punishment racing downpipe. It is very nice quality and I have not had any problems with it. I would recommend them.
I would honestly keep looking. I picked up a authentic MHI evo III for 200 last year. I had an ebay 16g on my laser when I first bought it. It ran fine and there was no play in it when i sold it, but my friends and myself all noticed the difference after bolting up the true MHI. And I was always...

Whatever you do, DON"T rush yourself into things. Everyone wants to go fast, but maintenance beforehand is key. If you keep up with your DSM, it'll reward you for a long time. Once the maintenance is done move onto what was posted above.
The punishment racing one hugs the oil pan quite nicely i think. The bolts for the flange where the downpipe meets the O2 housing sucks, but i used a stubby wrench and a socket with a long extension and it wasn't too bad.
