for those who went the custom exhaust route, where did you get piping/hanging done and how much did they charge?

 

Local tuning shop, ran about $300 including the magnaflow muffler, another $150 to install the high-flow cat which I got done a few weeks later. I also believe that Meineke will do the cat-back for you but I'm pretty sure they won't touch the catalytic convertor due to federal regulations.

 

125.00 midas cat-back 2.5 pipping + 119.95 for muffler for a total of 255.00

EDIT: Put the high flow cat on myself

 

Cool. You didn't have to have the cat welded on? Or was this a test pipe type thing?

 

mine was $330 installed.......including piping....A'PEXi N1 muffler....and a Catco High Flo cat @ a local performance shop

 

Just curious about the piping. Did you guys get mandrel bent piping at these prices or is it press bent?

Road Race took care of that for me!
Meaning, i bought their muffler!
Fits great, sounds awesome!

 

aight, one more then i can put this thread to rest... how long did your piping work take... i wanna know how long i'm gonna have to be drivin the old cavy.....

 

Mine took about three hours, and that was due to the fact that the guy had three different exhausts being put on.

My cost for mandrel bent piping and a APEXi N1 with a custom beveled tip welded on was $200 even. Full catback.

 

Hmmm....In the waiting room I ended watching Dude, Where's my Car? in its entirety, an Import Car magazine video, and a Puerto Rican drag racing video...so I guess that would be about 4 hours...but that was with a wait and the shop said they were short-handed. Make sure you order your muffler in advance and by gawd, be the first one there!

 

well i think i'm gonna drop the car tonite and leave it for them to do tomm morn... so i should be first. I'm just hoping it will be done by noon when i get off work if they start at 8am. oh yea, i think i'm gonna go with meineke.

 

Oh yes... I was lucky, they had plenty of my muffler in stock, and we had worked with them once before on another project, so, they were really cool, and hooked us up pretty quick, fast, and well. I was under the car with them for the most part. I think the origin of the parts was a little shady, if you catch my drift... might have fallen off the truck, after seeing the normal price of just an APEXi muffler.

 

heh i know what you mean... i got mine off ebay for $108... sounds like a five finger dicount or someones losin $$

 

Maybe it was from a truck that got hijacked by 3 Civics with harpoon guns!

 

DRAT! they're onto me...
