Save some money with the exhaust. Buy the header for about $140.00. Make th flange for about $15.00 and buy some piping for $45.00 and a good set of mufflers ($100.00). Shop can bend and install them for about $150.00 unless you just want to buy the RB bend pieces. $500.00 total. Install yourself, $350-$400. The better it breaths the better it runs. Stock exhaust is very restrictive. I don't have smog laws so all of the somg pump and stuff came off. Set it up with a dual exhaust system. Keep the pipes seperate from the flange, the most less restrictive way.

3 1/2 is nice and large for running the pipes into one pipe. RB sells a connecting pipe from the headers to a single pipe. I'm not using any the presilencers or any of that.
