Cost of shop made catback piping?

Hey how much would it cost me to get a muffler shop to make me a catback with me supplying them with a magnaflow muffler? Also at the same time id have them put on a magnaflow hi flow cat that id also buy b4hand. Will there be sound diffs from the premade magnaflow catback? Im planning on getting kamikaze headers in the future so would there be any problems with this set up since they are weldon and the kamikaze is bolt on from what ive heard? Sorry lots of questions.

It all depends on what options you go with. Before I got my exhaust setup, I was looking at doing 2.5" stainless steel piping with mandrel bends and that was running in the $250-300 range.

I had a full 2.25" standard bend aluminized exhaust with buying TWO mufflers from them (one as a resonator, and the other as the muffler) all installed for 328. And they charged about 20 bucks more per muffler than if you get them from the yahoo store Husker Exhaust. Just go to yahoo shopping and search for magnaflow and you'll find it. Cheapest magnaflow parts I've ever found.

Yeah, that Magnaflow catback is hard to beat for the price. Only reasons to not buy it would be a) you want a different muffler b) you want bigger piping size.

If you just want the piping (from the cat to the muffler) and not the muffler (axle-back section) itself, check out mufflertech . It's $125 shipped and is a direct bolt in replacement mid-pipe for the Lancer.

Did they get the problems worked out in that exhaust? someone on here ordered it and said they had to have it fitted and re-drilled?

I'm thinking about getting it myself, but money is tight after buying the Piggyback. I remember a guy getting it a long time ago, and I just happened to remember the site. He said some massaging with a dremel and he got everything to fit right. The problem with fitting was on the axle-back side, and I think he had the RRM axle-back. Like it is with most exhausts, fitment is an issue. For $125 for madrel bends, it seems like a pretty good deal and getting a muffler shop to fit it (if it doesn't fit in the first place) on shouldn't be more than 30 minutes of labor.
