People dont seem to react too positively to this, but here it goes. All the pipe was purchased at autozone. The clamps and hangars also came from autozone. Totally this cost about $60 for supplies and about 7 hours for the work. About 5 hours of that was spend removing the old exhaust. Probably an hour spend getting hold of correct tools or parts.

The new pipe is clamped together and it's all 2.5" pipe from the cat back with no muffler. Tonight the last pieces of pipe went on. I'm guessing a 15-20hp increase... though its raining out and my tires would instantly spin when I got on it a bit so it was hard to tell. Here are some pics I took tonight. Hard to see much because it is dark out and the car isn't jacked.
