Default Exhaust Question

My has been in the shop for about a week now, and still is, becasue my car is so low, that all the speed bumps ive gone over have caused my *cataladic converters* (sp?) to get messed up, and my whoel exhaust system is crushed up into the underside of my car. My dad asked me to post on here waht the cheapest, but good quality dual exhasut is to go from the exhaust manifold all the way out the back? Any and all help would be appreciated

Many are close to the same price...

Flowmaster, Mac, Pypes, Magnaflow, ect.

Others get more expensive, Bassani, Borla

Yes, flows, macs and magnaflows have around a 400 dollar sticker for their catbacks... but this pypes system is a header back unit, so it includes a new crossover pipe making this v6 a true dual =D (and one of the few, i might add)
