For that price, don't even think. It's almost free.
But still, even after hearing the clip..........go for it and enjoy.

I thought only 4 cylinder engines with 4" mufflers are the ones that sound "ricey." Can anyone show me a 6 or 8 cylinder that sounds ricey?

Very subjective question of course...but there is a G35 Coupe (V6) in my neighborhood that sounds very "ricey"...not sure what exhaust he's running...but it's just too much for that car...I can hear him "droning" from two blocks away....sounds like a "bee hive", (and not the Marge Simpson kind either ), coming my way (if that makes sense)?

The best price I've seen online is about $700 shipped.

Here it is finally installed, a bit disappointed in the sound, but oh well, atleast it looks good. Let me know what ya'll think.
Used a digital camera so it ain't the best:
