need advice for custom exhaust system, getting 1 made very soon Options

[TRDDawg]

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

ive got 2.5 from the downpipe back. Every piece of pipe is 2.5. the downpipe is all custom also. well anyways the flex pipe and the bends around it cost me 150 then 150 from that back. its sounds so loud. not tingy though? and i running no resonator an no cat except an obx high flow. the core in my muffler is rattling a little since i got like 5 psi more going out. but it sounds goooood.
