I've been hearing the TSP Rumbler is a great kit for the 3.8s. Now sure about the fit with the Xenon kit though.

you can clamp it... not a suggested way, but it works. Welding is obviously better.
Cheapest you can get is flowmaster.. (wouldnt recommend) On the higher end, you can get Borla (sounds nice as hell). Then theres a bunch of inbetweens. Magnaflow is around 350, its like 400 I think.
If you want it to fit well with your gfx, then you will have to find tips. I think all exhausts will come with round tips... so start looking for tips that blend in if thats what you want.

It looks like the TSP rumbler is more or less just straight pipes. Is that correct? If that's the case, you could have any exhaust shop do that for you and probably for less than the TSP would cost after shipping etc.

You're right. I neglected to read the page. I was trying to click the pic but it won't load for me for some reason. Anyway, I noticed the 225 does not include tips. If you want those, it's at least another 75 bucks. I say you can just buy a single bullet and put it before the axle then have a shop fab the rest of it. You should still come out ahead.
I just did it online, and with the cheapest tips and ground shipping to my address in South Carolina, the total would have been ~335 dollars. I bet you can get the same system made for less at your local shop.

It's 2 1/4 inch stock on the V6. Unless they went up in size for the 98+.
