The magna flow stuff also new got from the auction for $5 for both. Yea I made out so good. Anyway I went to a local muffler shop and got 304 stainless steel for the piping which cost like $300 for parts and $200 for labor. So everything for like $550 installed.

I like your exhaust, cool .. But why is it so much . Is ohio that expensive . I can go to the local exhaust shop and get a good catback exhaust for $170-220 at the most .
And the piping work is real good . Other shops around are about the same price.
I just never paid that much before . Sounds and looks cool though !

Nothing else done yet, but me and some guys are thinking about a turbo. Nothing to strong I'm thinking 8psi maybe 10. Just to get it to about 200hp so I can take on civic's and sentra's. You'd be surprised how many looks I get when I drive by now though. Although now I see the STI's looking at me

Actually I didn't think it was that much, I guess it all depends on the piping I went a step ahead and got 304 stainless, your shops might be using 314 stainless or something else. Also the thickness of the pipe matters too. You might want to check and found out if we're on the same page with the price. Thanks for the comments though.
