Exhaust----i'm going crazy!!, help me choose one... Options

[Longo]

I'm searching for an exhaust to install on my st205....i'm searching around the net for about 3 days but i've not decided yet what choose.
I wrote some mail to hks, blitz and others, but they ask me 900+ $ for a specific rear silencer....sincerely I would like to spend a bit less!
If I buy an universal silencer (for example hks) could it be valid anyway? Of course I'd like to have a complete specific exhaust but if just the silencer is 900$ I don't want to think how much I should spend for a complete exh!

Can you give me some help? brands, comments, advices....anything!
thanx

I'm not exactly sure why people always insist on getting a cat back from big name brands like HKS, Greddy, Apexi, Tanabe, ect.......... They cost a lot of money. For a lot cheaper, you can buy a universal muffler from those same companies. Then you take it to a GOOD shop to do the rest of the pipping.

And if you're worried about it making to much noise, silencer is the best you can do. But one things I hate is seeing someone get out of their car, put on the silencer, get out the car, take off the silencer, ect..... This goes on forever. I dont see the point in waisting arround $80.00 on a silencer and having to get out of the car all the time to put in on or take it off.

I personaly would hate doing that, so I installed a Apexi ECV ( Exhaust Control Valve). This thing is amazing. It's basicly like having a silencer installed 24/7, but being able to controll it manually from the inside of your car. And it's only arround $150.00

This is a picture of the one I have installed. 80mm


The valve looks like this on the inside.


You basicly control the valve by closing it or openning it as much as you want.


You can buy it here.
