I went to Merlins Muffler and Brake and got an estimate. They suggested cutting everything from the resonator back and making a 2.25" (stock is 1.75") exhaust system. It will cost $165 ($145 because i have a coupon). The price is without a muffler because I brought my own in (Flowmaster 40). Is this a reasonable price or if not where should I go? Meineke was too expensive. They were going to replace the pipe just before the muffler and it would cost $150.

Thanks

i had from the cat back (legit catback my 2.25 started where the second cat did) and it cost me 63.94 when i brought my own muffler. also that price includes the welding on the muffler.

for a tip, dont go to those muffler shops that are national, go to the owns that are owned by people who live around there and thats the only store there is. those places are much cheaper.
