Where in the North West?

As far as exhaust systems go, Magnaflow and MBRP are our top choices and Diamond Eye is a close 3rd. We have systems from mid $200 range shipped. Let me know if we can help.

Oh I think all of the brands have their pros and cons. I went with an MBRP Turbo back 4" (its actually a downpipe back). Mine came with a muffler and a 5" Stainless tip. But, the muffler didnt last long and now its laying in the floor of my shop. Diamond Eye makes a true turbo back I believe..

The 4" is plenty big for applications up to around 600 rwhp I believe. But you will need a new turbo before that.

My MBRP system fit together perfectly. My wife and I installed it in about an hour in the driveway. THat was removing the old and installing the new total time.

I think the best advice would be to shop around, find a setup YOU like, and try to get the best deal.
