Linus,
	I have to disagree here.  I have never seen an OEM exhaust system 
that satisfied the requirements of a performance oriented driver.  OEM 
systems are designed with emissions, drivability, and cost as the 
primary factors, not tuning for performance.  Systems from companies 
such as HKS, Trust, DC Sports, etc, produce VERY fine exhaust systems, 
made with premium materials, and often at a cost less than the 
manufacturer.  The warranty is usually a moot point since they usually 
last far longer than the owner.

	Just my .02 worth.
