Pretty sure that the previous owner of my car told me that the system on my car (Cat removed, mandrel bends, mild steel, two centre resonators and a stainless rear muffler) was about $550 when he had it done.

Having said that, that would have been about 5 years ago now.

Second-hand systems can be had for around $100 on Trademe depending on brand/quality.

Brand new JDM exhaust? Anywhere from $700 to $1500 plus shipping of around $200 or $300 ex Japan.

$550 almost sounds too cheap based on the inclusion on two resonators and a muffler. I spent about $120ish buying one meter of 2.5" mild steel piping, a 90degree bend, some flanges and gaskets lol.

IMO keep an eye out on yahoo auctions etc for a quality second had Japanese system.

No flanges on my system though, Mark :)

It is just one big welded section from the front pipe to the back end of the car. It's a pain to work on though.

Ultimately, that's a rough recollection of what I think a guy told me he remembered it costing him some 5 years ago, so that should tell you how much weight to put on the number ;)

hey, can you have a after market muffler and not change anything else? i have a strange feeling that is what my car has. the manifold looks stock to me.

Yeah, definitely.

Lots of cars just have an aftermarket muffler, not even a full cat-back exhaust.
