I would think so, you could probably find a brand new set that would bolt up for about $400. I really depends on the set up that you have. Do you have LT or cats?

Hmm. Okay, I sort of figured if they had to modify it to a certain extent it wouldn't be too far from a fabricated system. My quote was to fabricate TDs over the axle and out back. Good luck anyway; hope it works out well.

reguardless hes got to change what you broght in to make it fit, and thats time and labor so 250 isnt really that bad. considering most shops charge around 75 bux for labor, I would guess a shop would probally look at around 2-3 hrs for the job, so thats 150-225 for labor alone, plus any extra pipes and whatnot he needed and clamps exc

Most of these cheap prices everyone is seeing is probalby for crush bent tubing. Not many side-of-the-road exhaust shops have mandrel benders. Crush bent is super easy to do duals with.
