$600 sound right for custom true duals? i have ebay stainless steel long tubes and need the rest of the exhaust now. i want true duals so i went to a local exhaust shop and he said he has done a few like it and quoted me $600 2 1/2 inch no cats including custom x and muffler of my choice (tips extra). im thinkin spintech or magnaflow. just making sure this sounds about right before i commit to it. thanks guys!

i think he did mention something about mandrel bends, it is a reputable exhaust shop so i believe it will be done very professional. is this something i should ask him before i get it done? i dont know a lot about exhaust, is the difference how easily it will flow? wrd1972 i love your exhaust i just dont wanna pay for it hah

if you can get mandrel do it. it just means the piping keeps its diameter through the turns.. unlike crush bend... like mine, 3" and turns of crush bend the pipe probably gets down to 2 1/2 on some turns. I needed my exhaust done and just went with their crush bends. i will probably measure and buy my own mandrel bends and have my friend replace the spots that need it. my exhaust was also very expensive for what i got, it was $600. this including piping only, 3" over the axle. i brough in my own cats and mufflers

$600 isnt too bad if they are going to use mandrel bends, go over the axle and provide mufflers/ x pipe.
I would call or drop in and confirm what exactly they are going to do for the money. Ask about what mufflers you can choose from, if he has any pics of the last setups hes done, etc.

If this is with mandrel bends, where are you guys finding cheaper? If it was dumped then yeah it would be a bit overpriced but it seems pretty reasonable to me for going over the axle?

If its over the axle and with mandrel bend then the price seems to be spot on to me.
It ran me $400 to do my dumped 4", a lot of that cost was that they didn't have a mandrel bender, but had a ton of mandrel bends sitting on the shelf. So they used those a ton of welds to get the job done.

He never did say if it was going to be mandrel bends or not. I assume they are not. As mentioned above, most exhaust shops don't carry a mandrel bender since their main focus is not horsepower.
