A 3" cat, headers and 5 different cat backs before I finally found the right sound lol (I sold every exhaust for a near zero loss).
With my p.e. I have no regrets. After all these years it still sounds so damn satisfying. In the winter I drive with the driver rear window cracked and sunroof tilted up if it's not super cold. In the summer, if I'm not wearing a suit for work and need the a/c to remain sweat free, the windows are down and the sunroof is cracked. It just has the perfect sports car sound, I love it.
Even better, when I'm at the track, with an instructor riding along, we obviously wear mic in our helmets. The ,ic picks up the exhaust sound bouncing off the wall in pit lane heading onto the track, it's simply amazing the sound.
At this point I've had the exhaust for what, 4 years, maybe more? That's $250/yr... less money that I spend on my gym membership.... less that a dollar a day! For so much enjoyment. And this car will be mine, or remain in my family forever.
Keeping the car for a while? Go for it!
Don't plan on keeping the car for a while? Buy it, install it properly and keep the stock sewing machine sounding exhaust and sell the p.e. separately when you part with the car. You'll recoup a good chunk.
