Default Exhaust

I finally found someone to do my exhaust but he wants 918.60. He is going from the stock exhaust manifold back with an x pipe and its going over the axle with magnaflow mufflers. That price does not include the two magnaflow mufflers or tips. I think that is way to much. What do yous guys think? How much did you pay for your setups? Its aluminum piping to by the way. Im going to go to meineke and see how much they would charge for the same setup. Your input would be helpful.

If you are ditching the cats then use that money to get some headers. That's a lot of loot, especially for aluminized pipe and no mufflers. Then get a good cat back and call it a day.

IMO, that's way too high. Especially since it isn't stainless.

What prices did you guys get quoted for. I need a exhaust shop in NJ and cant find one. No one i no gives me recommendations and everyone at the car shows has cat backs or true duals. I checked the internet and yellow pages everyone i call says the car is to low. I think its dumb to not even try cause its money your missing out on. This guy is the only guy I found. So if anyone has recommendations again please let me no.

Im not sure if you woud be interested in this but for the price he's asking, you can buy yourself the Bassani True Dual system that runs all the way out the back in stainless for an extra $40 bucks or so added or for $200 dollars cheaper, you can get it in aluminum i believe. Im not to sure but i think you can hook this up to the stock manifolds or well the cats.

There's also some stainless steel systems on ebay that are alot cheaper then what this guys asking for. They have there own muffler which i dont think there's any soundclipsof anywhere so idk if you would like that.
