The cost/benefit ratio is subject to many variables:[LIST]
How inefficient is your stock exhaust? (What can you gain?)
How expensive are parts for your car?
How much of the work can you do yourself?
The WAI on most cars is a DIY project with minimal expense.
If you are at the point of needing exhaust work then that would be the ideal time to look at improving efficiency.
A low restriction muffler, the easy mod that is the most likely to have a benefit will probably cost less than an OEM muffler (although it will not last as long) but will take some work to install.
