240 noob cat-back question.

Picking up a '90 this Saturday without a cat-back. Since my search for a used OEM one laying in the corner of someone's garage in NNJ failed, I have begun looking to get one that will allow me to get the car registered.

My plans for the car are for the time being it will be my beater, auto-x occassionally, driver school it occasionally. I am only going to do enough to keep it running plus the safety necessities to be used for comp licensing. I will worry about upgrade mods later.

So my long-winded point is I want an inexpensive functional cat-back that will allow me to get this on the road. So far it looks like the Pacesetter is the way for me to go - thoughts? I see no reason to drop $600 on a 3" exhaust for a stock NA with 180k on the motor (and it would double the price of the car).

Ideas on the best place to order one from - or even better if someone knows anywhere in NNJ that I can pick one up from.

BRM exhausts are pretty decent systems, my friend with a b15 (sentra) just got his from them, nice 2.25" mandrel bent piping with a really nice sounding magnaflow muffler all for ~375shipped.

I say go for the cheaper option. Drnovascotia and I have done the same thing.(he is the one that told me about it)
Get a good Street Series Magnaflow exhaust...about 130-150 and then have a local muffler shop make the catback piping for you...mine was an even 100. The sound is AWESOME, plus it looks good. Not to mention you have about 30 different styles to choose from. My grand total was 239.

if u go that route, make sure the muffler shop can do mandrel bends, otherwise it's really not worth it if they can only do crimp bends.

Thanks for the responses - really just looking for something other than the exhaust being currently dumped out of the cat - nothing fancy - nothing heart pounding - just route the exhaust out the rear and not be obnoxious.
