Would it work without the front pipes? Just trying to save some money. I have considered the powersticks as well but believe they would be too loud for what I am looking for. Also I am considering the Cherry Bomb Vortex dual in/out 2.5" and going to a local muffler shop to have duals welded in.

I have the Borla system mentioned. It is unlikely the OEM front pipes would work directly without some fabrication, and given the costs associated with welding stainless / fabricating via a reasonably skilled welder, you will not be ahead financially. The front pipes are less than $100 at Sparks and are 304 stainless, as opposed to the lower quality 409 stainless in the OEM system.

Right. Just saw it was $92. Hmmm. It is a lot better price than I thought. Still might go the absolute cheapest route which is going to be get the muffler. Thanks for the heads up.
