typically most people just go custom catback after getting the downpipe and/or midpipe of their choice. You can get the Racing Beat 3'' DP for like 120, although if you want it to bolt up to the stock catback you need to get the presilencer too.
If you are firm set on dual, there are many custom exhuast shops that could make a decent y pipe. However look through the archives and you'll see the 23094320 page long single vs dual debate. Single is easier

BTW, punctuation makes it much easier to read and understand what you write.

I made my own 2.5" exhaust for my gxl, it wasnt all that hard but it took me about a day to do it. Did I mention that the mufflers are the "see thru" ones from my local bling-.bling store.

Custom will be a lot cheaper than a bolt on setup. I just got the best bolt on I could and I love it. it is not loud. Unless you rev it but I love it and it is great to just get the stuff in the mail and put it on in a couple of hours with a budy. Ofcourse my exhaust cost the same a a new laptop but I wanted it. You should proly just get a custom setup. Less $$

Yeah, i was going to make a full 2.5" exhaust for my Base. Only problem is, how are you guys making the bends? I can get the piping cheap, but dont want to have to run back and forth to the exhaust shop to bend it, fit it, bend it again, ect ect. Thanks

i personally think the RB turbo back system is very competively priced.
the local rotary shop quoted me 1100 cdn dollars for 3 inch stainles Steel mandrel bent system. dual exit, and they will use no name mufflers
the RB system is around that price as well.

I'm going to be in the same boat after we get the engine back from the rebuild shop. The stock exhaust was so rusted that when we tried to impact the cat off it ripped the exhaust in half! so needless to say im gonna need new exhaust very soon. look's like im going to have to brush up on my welding skills.
