Cheap/ Good Sounding/ LOUD Exhaust

College guy trying to ball on a budget (600), I want the exhaust to sound really good and be loud but I will be DD it. Three that people have been saying I should look at is the N1, BC Spec 2, and TF Works. So preferably a catback. Thoughts? Opinions? Anything better? Also I live in Illinois so I don't know how strict they are with noise level, even though id keep it under 3k rpms. Thanks in advance everyone, your feedback will be appreciated!

People have been saying the BC over the N1, Would you guys say the BC sounds really good?

The Buddy Club sounds pretty raw in my opinion (in a good way)
It's affordable, as well. As long as you have the stock header and front pipe, it won't be ridiculously loud.

J2 sounded the best on N/A setup in my opinion. Also, significantly cheaper.

Buying a used exhaust question

Is there anything to look out for when buying a used exhaust? Is it a good idea? Thanks!

I'd check of any damage (holes/warped flanges/dents) obviously it is not going to look as pretty as a brand new one, but as long as its in decent shape you'll be fine! I bought my buddies old exhaust set up, which had roughly 10,000km on it and I've put another 8,000 and have zero issues!

Muffler delete will wake up the car's sound for CHEAP. Go with Berk or Nameless.

The cheapest option would be to remove the entire exhaust system. Weight savings too.
