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 This post has been edited by TRDDawg: Jul 1, 2004 - 2:14 PM |

From header back, my shop says 400 for mandrel bent stainless steel pipes. That's no cats or resinators.
Ok, some Qs. Sound I run a cat or resinator? I have a straight through muffler. And straight pipes on 4 cyl, usally sound awful. So should I just run one hi-flow cat, or what? What piping do I need? Some some know the measurements, so I can just order pipes off the internet? -------------------- NASA/SCCA RX-7....currently under the knife
