Is money an issue? You may be better off taking it to a muffler shop and having them make a custom exhaust for you. usually it's a lot cheaper, make sure you opt for the stainless steel of that is an option

Pretty much any of the major DSM vendors have what you are looking for. Now I don't know what you consider cheap for a catback, or turbo back exhaust, but these are really nice.

is 3inch worth it over 2.5 inch?

It all depends on your personal preference (aka decibel level), your wallet, and what your goals are. Generally, if you're not looking to go over 300-350 whp then 2.5 inch piping should suit you just fine. After that, the 2.5 inch piping is a restriction for the exiting exhaust fumes.

Check out the exhausts from www.dejonpowerhouse.com

Those things are about the price of a catback but come turbo back.

i would go custom.. there's a shop in my town that makes 'em with whatever muffler you supply for 225, im guessing it cant get much more expensive or cheaper where-ever you may be located. Thats the route im going!

I forgot to mention getting custom will be cheaper because installing it is included!

You also have to keep in mind what kind of bending techniques the shop will be using (mandrel or otherwise), what kind of piping (aka the type of metal) they will be using, what kind of piping (aka the type of metal) they offer, and what welding techniques they use (aka TIG welds or stitch welds).

All this is important if you expect your exhaust system to go through the four seasons (if your car is a daily driver). It also depends on how much you actually care how well or poorly the shop fabricates your custom piping. If you are going to a trusted exhaust shop, then there shouldn't be any problems.

And I am willing to bet that it's even cheaper if you do it yourself.

i made my own with a apexi muffler and it sounds nice you just need one to mock and have an exhaust shop bend it.
