Well, I guess the Flo Pro Twisters made the difference because mine were just a generic bullet mufflers.........and my crossover X wasnt a one-off custom fabrication so $230 installed seemed good to me for 3" TD's but good luck with the sale and your new motor anyways.

BTW that does not include fabbing the X-pipe from scratch. X-pipe is worth more than 80 bones.... so 200 for the labor and hangers seems like a good deal to me.
Hutto, care to respond?

Then you can show me the busted *** cuts like someone who mass produces them, no names mentioned, of the two joining pipes. I use precision machinery to produce consistant results. Something that adds to the cost of manufacturing for quality parts. I also offer limited lifetime warranties on the systems. Not some 5 year joke. That says a lot about your craftsman ship and materials used.
Generic bullets are just that. Glasspacks. Cost about 15 bucks a muffler to use. Do you really expect to get what you pay for with $230 bucks? Nuff said.

driving them to you would be cheaper than shipping them.

Who the **** actually leaves the same exhaust on a car long enough or even the aluminized tubing to rust through? Me leaving one exhaust system on a car for 2 years certainly doesnt warrant me spending 3X the amount of money since there wasnt one rusty spot on the system when I sold it. I would also be willing to bet "ole joe blow muffler" that I used has more precise equipment than you and I know he has more experience. FWIW, there are several members on LS1TECH with the same setup from the same guy with the same mufflers and the systems constantly get compliments. So....in the end, I hope you can sell your stainless systems to everyone....I didnt say anything knocking your work until you went postal.
I built the exhaust on his car. You insulted the price. I gave you reasoning. Please post pics of your exhaust so we can all gawk at it. You are proud of it so there shouldnt be an issue there right?
As far as experience, thats something id take a bet on. I doubt he's done as many dual exhausts on 4th Gen F-bodies as I have brother. Overall experience, its possible. Post the pics. Show us the great work you speak of.
