for starters what area you in

as for the price you have quoted its not to bad for just a cat back

i have a 98 el gli and it is healthy with a full custom 2 1/2" system on it

it has run a 15.4 1/4 mile so they have potential big time

Yeah thats a pretty good price.
Mine is a 2.5" (think brand is on my sig), it was 360 fitted a year ago, then a few months on i got twin tips which was 120.

With both mufflers. and yeah it did sound pretty sweet, loud enough and not offendingly loud, but close when given some gas. With a hotdog it will be louder.

A month ago i got Pacemaker Competition Extractors (4480) fitted, sounds alot meatier and im happy with it. its nice because if i sit it at about 2000rpm it makes some nice noise with a sweet tone, but under that it sounds slightly rumbly which is good crusing around residential streets at night so i dont wake anyone up.

But yeah its personal choice, if you like it loud then go 2.5" with one muffler and one hotdog, if you like it not loud loud but beefy get one with both mufflers

If your out north east way give Complete Exhausts at Bramah Lodge a call, they did a 2.5" with single Lukey muffler on my nephews EA for $260.

yeah it'd be pretty loud, close to ridiculously loud.
But yeah if i was you i'd go the 2.5" with 2 highflow mufflers. Talk to a exhaust specialist to get exactly what you want, they usually know what there on about.
