Default What did your exhaust cost?

Looking at a cat back sytem with 40 series flowmaster. The shop says it'll cost $350. I paid $220 in Indiana on my ram. Is $350 too much?

**Edit** Oh yea, and he says he can't mess with the Y pipe at all or it'll mess up my emissions...

**2nd Edit** Anyone increased their pipe size from 2.5 to 3 inches?

Jerk. I mean flowmaster muffler costs them what...$65 or so? Then the pipe costs around $20 max? So I could see $175 or so but man...$350 sounds crazy to me.

**EDIT** I'm gonna do it myself. Screw them. Any suggestions to make this easier? I could get my air compressor, impact, sander and muzzleloader for damn near $350. Plus my exhaust parts in there...geez

It cost me about $130 in parts honestly... If you order the muffler from summit racing, they usually have free shipping...fyi...and then I just cut out the resonators and spot welded a pipe in place... but I kept it stock location... so it was just cut out, weld in....

While $130 is more than I thought...$350 is still pretty outrageous I think. Especially when I got the exact same thing for $220.

I think for like $235 they sell a flowmaster cat-back exhaust kit, single side exit, like the stock position, on most auto shop websites like summitracing.com.

Ill get a link...

Here:

http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku

It's cheap and its all put together and bent already.

I would spend $235 on this, its still on the cheap side, and you dont have to bother making it, just slap it on!
