Look no further than 42 Draft Design. Their metal work is beyond compare. The fitment is better than OEM. The prices are lower and the pipes are higher quality. Just do it.

The good stuff costs at least double your budget but there is a decent pipe in your price range made by Megan. You can find them on ebay and some of the multi-brand sites.

Since it doesn't have a Cat there is a good chance the Check engine light will come one. There are ways around it if you program it out with a Vag Com. If you are in a Emission strict state I wouldn't recommend it since it probably won't pass emission tests.

If you need to pass emissions I would go with a downpipe that comes with a CAT but those are usually a lot more expensive.

One of these Downpipe's with Cats may work and shouldn't throw any codes.

Mine started leaking yesterday so I am in the same boat as you. This will make things easier if I cannot find one locally from someone parting out.
