Turner Test pipes are good, but if you have a good local exhaust shop they can do the same thing for you at much less cost. One if the guys in our group had some test pipes done, saved his primary cats and had the rear (Gintani Valved) system fitted for under $300 inc labour. Pretty good value, a lot less than the cost of the pipes and freight. If you do a primary cat delete you will need to do a tune either to delete CEL only or to also increase performance. You can buy an Akra Delete R but you are paying all that just to delete the error and for a couple of hundred dollars more you get a cable and tune that will see you all the way from stock to DCT tune and SC software

Rear sections depend on what sound you like, but choose carefully to avoid drone and get a great sound inside and out.

One of our group members has just the primary cat delete with the stock system, its still very quiet but has a bit more rasp and sounds a little more aggressive. Even though I sell X-pipes for value you can't you past a primary cat delete
