Does This Price Sound Okay? Well I tried to get this done a long time ago.... but between money problems and finals, I am just now getting a chance.
I have a set of pacesetters that have just been sitting in my room for a month, waiting on me to get the rest of my exhaust figured out. So I am trying to get true duals put on my car. I want them to go over the axel, so I know that I have to go with 2.5 inch.
I called a local exhaust shop that a friend highly recommended (he has a WS6 also, and he got his dumps put on by them). They have a mandrel bender and are willing to fab me up an X-pipe along with the rest of the exhaust for $350.
Is this price sound okay?
Thanks for the replies in advance!

nope total cost... I have talked to the guy twice. It seemed a little high to me, but I don't know too much about exhaust work. I know the TSP dual kit is like $420 (and that includes Bullet mufflers...right?), but that is the only price I have to compare it to.

That is mufflers and all. Are the mufflers included?
I would hump all on $350
-Haha, I just noticed I typed hump instead of jump.

Well I decided to go and have it done. I am dropping the car off Tuesday morning and I am suppose to pick it up late Tuesday afternoon. 
I will try and take some pictures if everything turns out okay.
I am putting my headers on today, so wish me luck!

Yeah, no kidding I would drive to Memphis to have duals over the axle installed for $350. That price includes going over the axle? Man that is CHEAP. I am still debating whether I want duals over the axle or just to stick with a catback. And I can't get headers until I decide. Decisions, decisions...

Header install went wonderfully... Those Pacesetters slid right in there, no notching of the K-member or anything. I also installed new spark plugs (NGK). Man that was easy...
I had to drive my car 40 minutes away on OPEN HEADERS to get to the exhaust shop today. Damn it was loud, but I started to enjoy it after awhile. I am suppose to pick it up tomorrow at 5:00pm(cst).
I will try to get some pictures before Christmas if I can...
