I've heard that the magnaflow sounds really good, I'm not sure how much it is but I know it's a lot cheaper than the stromung one.
Check it out at www.magniflow.com
They have a sound clip of a magnaflow on a VW GTI VR6, which probably sounds kinda like the legend cuz the legend has a similar V6.

Hi quis84,
I have a stromung on my 90 coupe. At idle it sounds a little louder than stock and at 2500 rpms and over it has a beautiful low growl. I definitely prefer it over stock. The stromung is only an axle back setup, you will still need to get a intermediate pipe which houses the resonator. This is the pipe from your catalytic convertor to your exhaust. Some guys say you can bolt it right on to the existing pipe but when I got my stromung I had to change out the pipe cause the opening was something like 2 inch oem vs. 2 1/2 inch for stromung inlet. I think they made 2 versions of the stromung for our coupes, one was the aluminized with stainless dual tips and the other is a full stainless version. I think only the full stainless is still in production. I have the aluminized with the stainless tips. As for worth it, yeah mines was worth it cause I bought it slightly used off a forum member for $100 while my greddy for my gen2 coupe cost $525 + shipping. Went cheap on the b-pipe with a local meineke shop (They weld a pipe with a resonator to fit) for $135 + $40 to install the stromung.
If you browse the gen2 forum, they just completed a group buy for full stainless stromung exhaust for gen1s & gen2s for $419 + shipping.
Hope this helps............

I called stromung they told me that they still sell the full catback system in all stainless for my car but it costs about 600 hundred i'm going to find out about the magnaflow i heard the catback they had for the gti vr6 on their website and if i can get that sound with decent performance gains i might go that way beacuse 600 hundred is kind of steep for a struggling college student

This is my Stromung, with just an axle back at idle. At the end of This clip, ther are a couple more legend stromung exhaust clips at well, doing drive by's and such.

I just started mine via remote start and then reved it a couple of times until I hit the revlimit for the remote start and the car shut off.
