What would be cheaper?

Shops are cheaper if you use cheap materials. Use stainless if you construct one or you'll burn through it in no time. Stainless will last virtually forever against the heat

depends if you want dual or single
either way as long as your happy on how it will look and sound
some shops don't always do pretty work

as for me i have a single apexi bolt on and my Bro has dual oldschool trust (greddy) bolt on
both sound great and design is awsome

friend has dual exhaust made by a shop that the y pipe could've been done better but i think he only payed $100 = hella loud on NA

other friend made his own dual with two $40 mufflers you get from RACINGLAB and about $20 of piping = sounds good on a TII


bolt on- about $200-$400

shops- $100-$300
depending on materials
