Default Does this sound right.

My wifes brother just bought a 2007 2500 CTD with a 5.9. He payed a local muffler shop $100 to cut the muffler off and put a piece of pipe in.
The bad part is that he works with me and can get all the 4" tubing that he wants for free.

They told him it was expensive because there is a offset in the pipe.

what kind of tubing???

if its EMT then it will not hold up to exhaust gases. exhaust pipe is chemically treated to withstand the chemicals from the fuel.

It is 316 or 304 stainless tubing depending on what kind of lines we are running. We have done entire exhaust so it sould work.
