Yes... freg. Just did the flex pipe in december, it was $400. 2 weeks later a company in British Columia started making 2.5" performance downpipes for $220. On the diesels, the exhaust is the best place to free up some hp.
I assume yours is a gas? The 1.9 TDs (AAZ code) they sold in Canada from 93-97 weren't available in the US, and I don't think you can import them... never passed emmisions. Just as well... they've had issues with the crank timing belt pulley coming loose... lots of dead ones around with valves firmly implanted in pistons.
