Alright guys/gals my next upgrade should be a catback exhaust, and I'm just looking for some opinions on which direction I should go. Optimally I'm looking at catback's from evofusion and ark, mostly because they're stainless steel, I can install it myself, a quality product, and sound good. I'm also thinking of going the custom way, but I don't really want to deal with a shop but not really a problem just time constraints, and they're quality can be questionable. Price is not really a problem for me. So I'm looking at these options:
1) Ark N2 catback exhaust - it's pricey but you're paying for a quality product and good customer service
2) Evofusion catback GB - quality product but who know's when you'll get it
3) Custom press bent - with maybe vibrant, magnaflow, borla - resonator and muffler
4) Someone want to sell me theirs?
5) other, post below

I think you answered your own question when you said that price wasn't a problem... I'd go with Ark.

Custom, then you don't have to have the fart can on the end. Unless you're into that sort of thing.

id say custom cause then you can do angles...and put the tip wherever you like...its just much better all around...and even better if you can get custom mandrel bent...

Do what I did.
GET some aluminized steel from ebay, 3 U-bends and a couple strait sections, your favorite high-flow cat, flex, and muffler, then, bam, you have a custom exhaust.
Custom exhaust FTMFW!!!! That way you can have it like you want it

Custom all the way. It is the only way that you will get exactly what you want.

i went to a local exhaust shop and got a bent cat back with a flowmaster delta 40 muffler w/ a dual wall stainless tip, it sounds great and isn't too over the top. it also is pretty nice looking, just wish it was tucked up into the bumper more.

I would go with evofusion I love my exhuast but I am sad that I am going to have to part with mine soon. The wife is going to be taking over my car and does not want the exhuast so sometime soon I am going to go back to stock and put everything up for sale. The other option I think that would be good is ARK I like there products and I hear they made really nice exhuast systems either one is good.

well if ark doesn't give me a "I can't pass it up" deal, or someone sells me theirs I think i'll be going custom, with a with vibrant oval muffler and resonator combo. I don't think anyone has that muffler on here it'll be interesting how it sounds.

Vibrant Streetpower Flat black 2.25" inlet, is what I'm getting, I didn't like the tips they had on the other mufflers, and for some reason this one is cheaper than the non-flat black mufflers.

For a resonator I'll look at local shops for a decent one.
