Most people don't go the custom route because unlike your lala land internet pricing, in reality it is expensive. Even cheap 304SS stock is about $10-20/foot depending on the diameter and gauge, and then there is the labor, bends, transitions, couplers, hangers, and mufflers. For example, the custom 321SS exhaust for my car was about $1,700, not including the mufflers. Even the crappy custom press-bent 2" ERW catback piping for my TII was still $100.

Wow I didn't realize this thread would spark such interest.
Well I'm definitely not going to get a custom exhaust, it will be expensive and I don't see the point for basic street use. Since there is so much argument between Borla and RB, it seems each has its advantages/disadvantages so I would probably be making a good decision either way. I checked out an rx7 the other day with RB and I must say, they do look very nice. If money wasn't an issue it'd be racing beat for sure but I'll see what my next paycheck looks like.
