What are you looking for exactly? Full exhaust, cat-back, dumps, cats or no cats? What kind of budget are you looking at and will you be installing it yourself?

I was looking for a full exhaust and maybe around $400. Not installing myself since I don't have a welder

You'll be hard pressed to do full exhaust for $400, unless you get unbelievable deals on parts and installation. It's going to cost that or more to get it installed. Most headers alone cost more than $400.

You're right! The link the other guy showed me showed prices over $400. Oh well, it's totally worth it. Do you know of any good shops in Fort Worth that are pretty reasonable on the installation?

I'm sure Simple Quick Racing in Benbrook would be a good choice.

honestly i paid like $100 for used Y on here... and like $50 for the bullet i think. shop charged me $20 to weld the y(buddy with a welder wasnt avaliable to do it)
and my buddy welded up the bullet for free

so like $170 with out the long tubes. i paid i think $200 for the LT's so like $370 probally less for everything
