Noob Exhaust Question

Hi guys, i just got my rx8 a week ago and i'm looking into getting the SE-03C body kit front and back, and i notice how good the back looks with dual exhaust on the back. Does anyone know how much that would run me and how it would affect horsepower, positively or negatively? Also does anyone know who in the bay area could do it for me?
Thanks in advance and all help is appreciated.

it is possible to get one custom fabbed at an exhaust shop for a few bills.

the autoexe one is expensive, but you're paying for the name and the quality.

you won't notice anything.

it all depends on how the mufflers are set up and whether or not it retains a catalytic converter. +/- 5hp.

a shop should be able to fab that up, it won't be the same, and it won't be cheap, but it'll be less expensive than that exhaust.

When you guys say not that cheap or cheaper than the autoexe how much is that? Cuz if its less than 500 i can get that done while i save up for the autoexe one, if its more i might as well save up for the whole thing.

thanks for all the help so far guys.

if you plan to eventually get the autoexe exhaust, I would just wait and save up.

Ok i probably will. Last question i'm pretty sure. What is going to be the difference with the autoexe one and just one that looks like it.

Is it performance? Quality? Loudness? Etc. I'm very new to all of this guys sorry.

if you get it made custom for your car, it usually will add 20-30 hp
