if it's the same magnaflow catback, why would they sound different or be different quality (unless it's used)?

Are they selling the catback or building it themselves ? Either way they should sound the same.

I would make sure you're getting the entire catback system. Maybe the shop is just going to weld up a magnaflow muffler and put some tips on there while using your stock intermediate pipe.

if they use the same magnaflow muffler, it should sound very close to the same, with the excepetion of slightly different bends in the stock pipes vs the magnaflow catback from lmperformance

i'd say just order the magnaflow catback kit online for around the same price if not cheaper and put it on yourself, it's very easy to install
