I think you could fab a full system for the same price or less. Just my opinion.
There is at least one 550 here that fabbed his own. Another 3" SS custom made link here. http://f10.5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=621314

Agree market prices are high and most are mufflers only, not even cat back or full exhaust. The hardest part of a true custom build may be finding the best sounding free flowing compact case muffler.
