Pacesetter are common and cheap. There are some other good ones out there but are more expensive (a 3400 guy can elaborate more). It can be put onto stock exsuats but if you want to get the most out of them, new bigger piping, high flow cat... tune down the road to optimize it.

Custom exhaust will cost just about as much while sounding how you want it. Personally I think the pacesetter is to quiet

keep in mind i have headers and no cat.
but when i was in search for an exhaust system. this is the video that won me over to pacesetter. and i honestly couldnt be happier, it sounds verry good in my car with the headers.

I believe I am about the only one so far who can attest to this:
Pacesetter exhaust with stock headers and high flow cat=good sound
Pacesetter exhaust with pacesetter headers=shit rasp funk music.
Start close to the engine and move back. Those headers will change everything as they did with mine. I have a custom magnaflow setup with 2.5" piping with mandrel bends, high flow cat and a resonator to smooth out the terrible rasp and drone that occurred with installing the headers.
