On my '92 3.0, I have a Flowmaster 50 series with stock piping. Except, when I ordered the muffler a long time ago, I measured wrong, and the muffler inlet/outlet is 1/4" larger than the truck's piping. Recently I've developed a hole in the exhaust, upstream of the muffler. So I'm looking to get the system redone.
I can go to Midas and get it done for about $120. Or I can go to a custom shop, and spend upwards of $280-500 to replace the whole system. So, would I notice any difference in a custom shop job vs Midas? This is really the only mod this truck has, so I'm thinking Midas will be sufficient, especially since I can upsize the pipe by 1/4" to match the muffler now, and even with crush bends, I should be slightly larger than stock all through the system.
Thoughts?
