You can get any muffler for less than the cost of HKS. Look into a Apex N1 muffler and have your shop weld on 3" piping (which is the size you want for a FI engine).

And Yea I plan on getting an N1 style muffler and just going to an exhaust shop and getting the piping made.

I have a couple other questions, and figured I might as well ask in here since I've already got this thread started. First off I did a search on the max boost the sr20det turbo can handle, and for the majority, everyone was saying 14lbs is the max boost that turbo can handle, however one person said that 17lbs can be run.
My question is, is 17lbs on the stock turbo true since the most I've heard anyone running is 14lbs?
And my other question is, are the sr20det blocks cast iron or aluminum blocks, and what is the most boost that that a block on stock internals could handle before some beefing up is neccessary??
Thanks again, this site is really helping me out a lot.

The SR is extremely durable. I run my car hard whenever I take it out. Right now I'm at around 14lbs. everyday. As for the stock turbo, it can handle up to 17psi. But I wouldn't suggest doing that all the time. After 17psi. the turbo loses its efiiciency. At 17psi. the injectors are pretty much at full duty cycle, and anything more would require larger injectors.
