Problem with that mentality is if you don't like it you just hacked up your stock exhaust.

At least with a bought set up, you can go back to stock if you don't like it or just want to change it up to something else.

Plus they hold their value pretty well so you get a good portion of your money back.

Couple it with a muffler delete.

If you go muffler delete first and find that to be too loud (or just loud enough) you've barred yourself from a dp. Trust me, you'll end up with a dp. We basically all do.

I stayed away from a muffler delete due to fear of drone. There's a thread here somewhere where someone added a resonance chamber to their muffler delete setup that supposedly took care of the drone. Don't remember the name of the thread, but I believe the post I mentioned is like on page 3 or 4 of the thread. Can't miss it. The chamber is a J-shaped pipe attached to the exhaust tubing.
I agree, I'd go downpipe first if there are plans for that anyway. Downpipe opens up a good amount of sound & power while keeping it reasonable at idle and highway cruising.
