Install them yourself. The hardest part is reaching the upper two bolts on each cat but it's doable with a 24" extension and plenty of PB Blaster.

As far as what's best, that's a matter of opinion. You're going to get 20 answers from 20 different people. I can tell you that resonated test pipe are less likely to rasp than non resonated pipes.

Sorry I didn't answer your question. But just to let you know, I installed mine for free and I have the Megan Racing resonated test pipes on my car with the Motordyne XYZ pipe and Hi-Flow cat section....sounds great!

get HFC's if your wanting a lil more hp.. or if you do get pipes - please make sure you get resonated.

one last thing - shouldnt cost no more than 40-60 bucks (if you dont want to install them yourself)

Pick up used TP from classifield, and install them yourself.
You can sell them when you go FI.

Helix, APS and turboxs
$ :
brand new around $140~200 range
Used set around $100 range, some less.

Install cost you around $100, depend on shop and not many shop wants to delete catalytic converter

I would deffinitely go with a set of resonated test pipes. They will cost a little bit more but they are worth it. You should be able to get a used set of good res. TP's for about $150 and as stated before you should be able to do the install youself. If not look at $50-$100 for the install depending on where you get it done.
