Question good aftermarket exhaust?

my fc came with a dual apexi N1 system. There is a broken weld or something near where it splits from single to dual pipes. the places where the hangers are welded to the mufflers are rusted and there are holes there. the hanger isn't even connected to the passenger side muffler.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do, yet. I think I might just get a new cat back system. I don't really want to spend $800 to buy new n1s. I thought about the racing beat cat back, but that is also really expensive. does anyone know of any other good aftermarket catbacks, and where to get them?

I've also thought about just buying used catbacks (stock or aftermarket)

any suggestions?

damn... why spend 800 on such a small part of the exhaust??? Buy some mufflers and go to a shop and have them make a catback for you. I bet you anything that it will be WAY cheaper than buying a label.

I just bought a Borla Cat Back for $460, $490 including shipping. Not sure how it sounds because it hasnt arrived yet, but they come with a good warranty if anything goes wrong with it. I found it at http://www.mrcmfg.com/respeed/

as far as going to a shop. back when I had an Integra I tried that route and it was gonna cost me 500 for a dual exhaust system. So those are both pretty cheap ways to go

i was looking at my exhaust again, and I think maybe it's not a full apexi n1 cat back, just the mufflers. also, i wonder if they are cheap imitations. I wouldn't expect a $700 exhaust system to end up like this.
the other muffler is still half attatched to the mount
