i dont have a price list, (because i have been buying parts for months, so it wouldnt be too much at once, i started buying parts in august or so) but look to spend about 400-600 in pipes, x-pipe was custom made, (but magnaflow has a nice xpipe, which i bought, then decided to make my own, the magnaflow cost $84, alot cheaper than dr.gas) mufflers ran me about $90, BMR relocation $200, CME tips (i ordered new ones, because the stock one was on since early 2002) about $250, and look at about $50.00 for band clamps, hangers bolts, etc.
now, labor is antoher thing.......if you dont do it yourself, get ready to be
good luck

this system was built entirely by pre-bent pipes, then cut and welded. It has clamps on the headers, and again near the axle, so if i need to change anything, the system just drops down. Clears slp DD subframe connectors, and no lost ground clearance
here are the pics

that does look like a dent, and it's probably there so the TQ arm will clear better?

I actually cut the one part of the subframe, and moved it, then rewelded it to fit

To everyone wanting sounds MeentSS02 has some on LS1sounds.

I also used the 4" round Magnaflows with my true duals. If you are wanting something loud and obnoxious these aren't the mufflers for you. At idle the sound is very deep. Cruising around town or on the highway they sound is very tame and mellow. At WOT the scream, but still not extremely loud. Before my LT's and TD's I had stock manifolds, stock cats, and a cutout. That system was louder and more obnoxious then my true duals, but had a real tin can sound to it. Now my car has a deep muscle car like sound to it.

That is an awesome setup 
And there isn't an issue with ground clearence?
I still do not understand why an aftermarket company hasn't made a true dual system that goes over the axle. If they crank out 10,000 of them bad boys a year, I'm sure the price would be a lot less than your $1500 hand fabricated masterpiece.

Nope...no real issues with ground clearance. With my new wheels and tires, I gained back another .75" since I went to a taller tire in the back.
I have scraped it before, and it only does it on the driver's side just after the header, but there isn't much that can be done about that area.
