Damn 350s kinda pricey...I was just quoted at 90-100 for an Magnaflow Muffler install and rear resonator delete and 200 for catbacks. The Muffler install and the resonator delete will be completed on this Friday. I know I can do the work myself, but I am feeling lazy...and why crawl under the truck and get dirty, plus if it is phucked up, I can beach at someone then Ill make sure I post a thread with the results

$150 out the door installed for mine and that's counting the $30 tip I bought on ebay. Had my favorite local exhaust guy rip out the stock muffler and both resonators then install a Cherry Bomb Vortex muffler with a dual tip exiting in front of the passenger rear tire.

$350? Single I assume? If so, for this area I am in, that is just below average. If that is for dual, it is a steal.

Now before any raises the BS flag on me, remember that I live in NJ. Right smack in the middle of NYC and Philly. Nothing here is "cheap". I see prices from other parts of the country and say to myself "how lucky you are". Parts are close to the same price, Ebay help there. Thing is labor is what kills you. A length of 2.5" pipe (8') here goes for more than $40 in mild steel. Not even aluminized.


About the Y-pipe, touch it and your powertrain warranty is gone. That is unless your dealer "works with you" on things.

Mine is cut after the cats, they are opened up to 2.5" Dual system 2.5 all the way back.

I have plenty of info in my posts, just too lazy right now to look them up and get links.

Shouldn't be, my dealer told me that as long as I don't modify anything in front of the cats or the cats themselves it doesn't do anything to the warranty. Seems rather asinine if some dealers void it for changing the y-pipe...

My warranty is gone anyways. $350 is for dual. But I'm not paying that...might pay something for the 2.5" after the cats tho...

When all is said and done, Ma MOPAR says what and what is not under warranty.

Since the cats and O2's are part of the Y-pipe (IE one piece) is falls under not only the factory warranty, but the Emissions warranty (put in place by the Govn).

As I have stated before, and have verified this with higher ups, modify the Y-pipe and the warranty is gone*.

* Unless your dealer will "work with you*. (That would not only be f'n the manufacturer, it would also be illegal.)
