custom exhaust question

So i've been going back and forth on whether to purchase a catback exhaust system or custom-made. I've decided to go with custom-made because it's less expensive compared to the buying the whole cat system. A reputable shop quoted me roughly $850 for parts and labor on replacing the whole system for a set of hfc (not sure how many cel yet), 3" straight pipes, maybe a resonator, and new mufflers and tips. Question is, is worth it? Also, what would you do if you can custom made your exhaust system. I care more about performance wise than sound, but that doesn't mean i want a car that sound so loud or obnoxious.

2.5" with resonators will have a nice, deep sound but not obnoxious.

dude..... fully polished, fully stainless, true dual, and designed for our car...Invidia Gemini is less than what you're planning to spend & sounds great...and that's shipped to your door. Why spend more and roll the dice for something that might disappoint and need more work & more money to get right. Find the right vendor in here and you're OTD for less.
