exhaust wtf

guitarpro1992 · June 7th, 2011, 09:27 AM

so im looking to do my flowmaster 40 dual exhaust with an h pipe fabricated and 3.5 tips out the rear, ive called 3 exhaust shops and the average price is $600?!?!? everyone here is seeing 300-400? what gives?

Area you're in.

Meineke installed my x-pipe and hacked up gt duals for $300. Drove the car there running open headers. They fully welded the whole thing as well. I have no clamps under the car.

yeah where are you located?

Look for little "mom and pop" sort of shops. They tend to be a little easier on the wallet and if you make it clear that you're paying in cash, they're more likely to "ignore" the laws and set you up with exactly what you want even if it's illegal.

YEah it's all about area. I was out of luck when I had to pay $600 for my setup. And that came from a small shop in my town.

SON1C · June 7th, 2011, 06:12 PM

mk1993 · June 7th, 2011, 09:35 PM
