Default Did I get a good deal???

Well I finally got my car into the shop today to get my TD's finished up. The guy is a friend of mine and He's going to make me a custom X-pipe(no cats). This will all be 2.5 inch to save a little clearance with 2 cherrybomb 18'' Glasspaks to eliminate most of the Rasp and give it a good rumble. I decided to run it out the back to prevent to much noise inside. I was going to go dumped but I just think it would be a little to loud.

Question #1 - Im having it run under the Axle- How bad will my clearance be??

Question #2 - He's doing it for $260 -does this sound like a good deal to you guys??

Question #3 - I have my front o2 sensors in on my headers-should I have him put the rear two in or just forget about them till I get a tune??

Thanks,
Jake

If you don't put the rear O2's on you'll get a check engine light but it will not affect anything. I think if $260 includes the X, mufflers, and out the back then that's a hell of a deal.

$260 for mufflers and piping out the back is a great deal.

even if you leave your rear O2's in, you will still get a check engine light. just leave them out for now insted of putting bungs in to put the O2's in and having to plug them later.

Well I went and Got it today and I was suprised at how quiet it is at Idle and in the car.. probably becuase I drove around with open headers for a day. I am very impressed with the sound and it doesnt have that raspy sound. Ill work on getting a clip up asap
