A good custom muffler/exhaust place should be able to fab one for you for 1/6th-1/4 of that price.

ok guys had my new flex pipe installed yesterday. The only problem I have is that I hear a rattling sound coming from the exhaust when I reach higher RPMs, I wonder if the heatshield is loose or if the catalytic convertor heat shield is loose on the cat. Dont know exactly so im taking it back to the shop on friday so they can look at it. Let me know if you guys have an ideas so I can tell the shop to look at.
