Called a local muffler shop and got a quote on full exhaust (2.5inch pipe completely replaced with muffler, and cat)... $420.:bs: i said "ohhh... how much would it cost if i bought the parts and had you install them?" "$50" i replied "okay.. well i will probably be calling you in a couple days."
went to summitracing.com, found a universal high flow cat, 2.5 inlet and outlet (got a to have a cat, 1996 xj with emissions coming up) for $55.95. and it's even stainless steel. :sunshine: next i found a aluminized steel raptor turbo muffler, 2.5 inlet and outlet for $25.95. (i went cheap cuz i figure i'll prolly punch a hole in it eventually.) :confused1
so after it all, 91.85 for the parts+shipping.
91.85(muffler and cat)+$50 (install)+$50(cuz he prolly low balled me over the phone.)= 191.85 subtract that from the original $420 he quoted me, im up about $228.15. :viking:
wanted to share the pride in finding a good deal. i recommend summit for anything street performance, i have a 1981 camaro z28 i recently did a engine swap and build up on and i spent thousands thro them, over the millions i would have spent other places.
cheers.
