That’s a little ridiculous…Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I finally stopped in and got a quote for exhaust on my V8 swap. A 2.5" dual system from headers to bumper with mangaflow and x pipe, $1600.
I mean, I know it won;t be cheap and I knew that place was going to be more expensive option. I just wasn't expeciting it to be that high. That was not including converters and I'm not planning for a delete. I'm also not wanting to use magnaflows that he was quoting, I'd prefer a quieter turbo muffler.
I'll be doing some more shopping.
I think I paid around $600 for stainless 2.5” from headers back at the local shop. That was just the pipe and putting in the parts I had, which was a pair of aftermarket high-flow cats and a Magnaflow crossover muffler (so I didn’t need an X-pipe). Shop did a lot of complaining that there wasn’t much room anyway. I did an 18” muffler, IIRC, a longer one like 24” would be quieter. Pity you didn’t make the 25th, I’m sure you would have liked to get to look over my green Ranger
