New x pipe install?
I ordered a magnaflow x pipe last nite. I am wondering what to expect financially to get it installed where the "suitcase" is? Any ballpark figure? Also, will there be a difference in tone and loudness with the x pipe?

Most exhaust shops should be able to weld it in place for around $75-150. It'll change the tone a bit but nothing to crazy.

I bought one too as well as Pfadt Tri-y headers. Putting it all on myself. But I have a lift and cutting tools and a welder. Built my own oval track cars for years. If you were closer to MI I would put it on for you. Can't be that tough. That price seems quite high.

Where in Kansas are you? I'm in Wichita and Bills American muffler supplied and installed my stainless X pipe and I brought them a magnaflow axle back for 210 out the door!

I paid the local muffler shop $45 to cut out the old resonator and weld in a new xpipe. Sounds like I got a good deal compared to what some are paying.
