I got mine (part #14167) from this outfit on eBay for $1112 shipped. Its the best price I could find. They arrived in three days in the factory cartons. He doesn't have any listed now but you might contact him to see if he has any available.
The dealers in my area would rather sell stock used cars than modified. I spotted a Corsa on a 06 on a lot, and offered a straight up swap for my stock exhaust. I inspected it before it went on my car, and it looked new after a little cleaning. I just had to pay the labor. I also got a free K&N FIPK in trade for my stock setup. It looked clean but I cleaned and oiled the filter element anyway.The donor car only had 17xxx miles, so I figured what the hell? I had done business with this dealer before, so that probably greased the wheels some. Mabye you can swing a similar deal?
