just watch the mufflers he gives you, decent stainless mufflers with no packing should be about $100 a piece, add in a resonator or a coverter and that $400 price tag does not leave much left.

I used to run a racingbeat pre-silencer on my vert with borla mufflers.
It was a bit annoying with the top down, worse was the fumes.
If you were sitting in traffic sometimes the fumes would come into the cabin and be quite unpleasant.
Your clothes would stink, your hair would stink, your skin would stink.
Chicks dont dig it when they smell like stinky slow rotory.
I put a high flow converter in there, noticed no difference in performance, cut down the stink to the point that the car passes inspection on its own.
Between the stainless converter, stainless Borla mufflers, tips, and pipes its about a $900 set up. The current set up has been on there for like 5 years I think? Its holding up great and I dont have to stink anymore!
Put a straight pipe with some cheapo mufflers and not only will it sound terrible, it wont pass emissions testing if you have it.
You will stink, your passengers will stink. Your 6 ports probably wont work correctly either.
it also wont hold up.
