Massive rattling under car

So I've been having a lot of rattling on start up and on acceleration cOming from under the car. So I climbed under her today to see what it was just to find out its a broken hanger, no biggie, but the worst part is the ******* before me was a big enough cheap *** to put a napa OE replacement exhaust on it, the one with the crinkles on the inside of the bends :'(. So here's my question, what is a decent exhaust, with a decent price and where would be the cheapest place to get one. I'm lookin at borla right now and the cheapest I've found is $925, is that a decent price for the exhaust?

Borla exhaust isn't what you want, seriously they don't sound good and the quality isn't there. For the $$ you have two choices the HKS replica or Stillens y-pipe back system made by Magnaflow. Either one will be miles ahead of what you're using....

Buddy Club. You can even buy a used exhaust from someone here.

I've been listening to clips of the HKS/replica and it sounds a bit raspy and ricey to me, I want to keep the VQ sound because that's what makes the G35 well the G35. I don't want any drone either. Does the stillen/magma flow mud pipe take away the raspyness?

When Magnflow sponsored one of their y-back systems for me I heard zero rasp but it was too much like OE so I moved on after hearing the real HKS system....Gary

Great price if its authentic. Hope you realize that you need 6" extensions to make it fit.
