Need an exhaust expert...

Okay my 88 GXL has a major exhaust leak....I want to buy a new exhaust system. But there are way too many. I have a guy that I have bought parts from who says he can get me the APEXi N1 dual exhaust for 620, good deal??? I didnt think so...2 questions....

1. What is the best sounding and performing after market exhaust available for right around $700???

2. Will I need diff. gaskets than the stock ones for a new exhaust system?? Cause I want to get this over with

Any suggestions???

if you buy a header you should be given a gasket for the manifold as well. I dont think any brand new exhaust wont come with an exhaust gasket

corksport catback $350 with shipping, rb downpipe bout $200 and a borla xr1 as a mid pipe $125, remember exhaust is the first thing you want to do to a rotary to get true power.

be forewarned, corksport is very loud. apexi dual N1s, sound very good, also very loud. any way you slice it, your car is going to be loud as **** with a header, straight pipe and straight through mufflers.

but it will sound good
my car has true dual exhaust with obx-r mufflers, very loud, sounds very unusual, but i like it.
my friend has an S5 with racing beat header and had a presilencer, but now is a cat, and dual N1s. its loud, but sounds great.

On my N/A I ran the RB header and pre-silencer with the dual N1 catback. She sounded mean and was quite possibly one of the loudest street cars I had heard. I loved it. Got the N1's on my TII now. Woo hoo.
