Default how does this sound

i just got doen talking to my local muffler shop and he suggested that i go with a flowmaster 40 series single in dual out muffler with 2.25" piping. stainless steel tips and he could do it for $300 does this sound good or do u think he's tryin to rip me off.

by the way i have a 98 sport with a 3.9 v6 any questions or comments?

I got a Flowmaster 40 on my 2003 SXT Dakota, he cut out the stock muffler and added a chrome tip for $151.95 plus tax, I know the stainless would of added like 40.00 more and then in your case 2 new pipes and tips, most all the shops around here do the duals like you are wanting for $300.00 but that is with the econo chrome tips not stainless so I'd say you are getting a good deal.

well i figure i can buy it all myself and i think it should all be pretty much bolt on. i priced it at bout 215 is what i can buy it for and do it myself. nothing wrong with saving a few $$$$ know of ne problems i might run into?

I would not bother doing it to save 75.00 but that is just me, I know Gibson makes a kit single in dual out but that kit cost more than what your muffler shop is asking so I think the shop is the best route......IMO

I have a 1999 dakota sport 3.9V6. I went and put the 50 series on because it is a V6. The 40 series will make it sound like a bumblebee in a can. Mine sounds awesome. Also i dumped it behind the cab with two pipes, like the Ford Lightening and it looks great. As for the cost, i got the muffler, pipe, chrome tips, and installation for 250.
