Message:
I recently was quoted a price of $600 for a 2.5" cat-back system, with 60% stainless pipes, a flowmaster single in dual out and 15" 2.5-3.5" 100% polished stainless tips straight out the back. Is this a little steep in price? Also, instead of the flowmaster I had the option of a Y-pipe with dual turbo pack mufflers instead. I think the flowmaster is a better choice.

I also have the 3" Flowmaster kit. $189 from a local retailer for the kit (cat ext. pipe, 40 series muffler 2.5" in, 3" out, and the tailpipe), plus $50 for a stainless 3" angle cut tip. I like the sound, but Michigan really calls for stainless piping. I'm thinking of a custom mandrel bent system that shortens the pipe between the cat and muffler. Stainless 2.5" borla or spintek muffler. I'd like to have it dump out with a 3" megaphone style tip that exits about 1 ft in front of the rear tire, pointed out towards the side of the truck. (can you say run-on sentence?) Estimates ranged from $parts+a case of MGD at a friends shop, up to $900 from a custom truck shop in the area. I guess only time will tell. See ya, good luck.

Yeah yer gettin taken if you take that deal. Pretty much every exhaust manufacturer sells their 100% S.S. cat-backs for under $600.

Remember this is duals straight back which requires the brake line to be relocated on the drivers side and the price also includes installation hours.
