   just get any exhaust you like the look of - 1 n 3/4" or 2" bore size, a tailpipe that you like and however many boxes you want to control the noise level

   Be careful going to these places which do custom exhausts for cheap, I went to one and had my cat and center section welded into one, they just cut the brackets off and welded it all shut. No off the shelf decat pipe for me

   If you just want a cheap job that is not the best quality then it would be ok! while it lasts, you are getting a universal box that they would use on lots of different cars!! (if it is like the one i know down our way they used to come in mass produced from abroad!)
   If you had a problem you would have to go back as no other off the shelf pipe would fit it as it would be made to just fit your car !!!!
   The bends are bent on a press bending machine that squashes the pipe and reduces the size and flow, the stainless steel pipe would possibly be 410 not 304 grade that means that if a magnet sticks to it you will not have a stanless steel system but one that contains iron and that is why it is cheaper if it is cheaper in the first place!
   
   THESE ARE MY OBSERVATIONS ONLY FROM WHAT I KNOW OF THE GARAGE THAT FITS THESE SYSTEMS DOWN OUR WAY!
