WOW! A grand? That sucks. Did you get a quote before you went in? Magnaflow is great stuff, but I only see about $400 worth of parts. $600 for labor is VERY steep.

Magnaflow is working on a 3" and 2.5" Center Out System right now. It should be available in 3-4 weeks.

WOW. That's insane. if they have a tubing bender, all they had to do was get that bend right. Probably 2 hours of labor MAX. That happened with my SRT8 jeep once. They charged me $700 for a muffler delete and claimed it was because the bends were very hard to get. Whatever, they lost my business needless to say. Oh well. We live and learn.

Street Scenes said they were on this, so I called Magnaflow and talked to a tech, and left messages twice for the product development guy, (who never returned my call) and they said they weren't doing anything of the sort. Figures they will come out with something AFTER I get my setup done. Cuh-rap!!!

i dont think i would be at all happy with a bill for 1k for that. BUT money aside, it looks bad ass.

ssmike · 05-07-2011, 05:36 PM

Unfortunatly that's the cost of customizing! One concellation though is it's a one of a kind and looks bada$$! Props for having the balls to try something different, it definatly works!!

Thanks man. Wish I could post a sound clip, but my camera doesnt wqnt to pick it up very well. it sounds European. Does a cold air kit affect the exhaust note much? My Roto-fab kit is on the way.

Darkflow · 05-08-2011, 04:21 PM

Looks nice, i think i would like it alot more if it were quad tips back there but doesnt look like the diffuser is big enough to fit a total of 4 tips.

Its a custom centered system, so the price was never going to be cheap.

Wantconvertible · 05-08-2011, 04:32 PM

I like it

DarkneSS · 05-08-2011, 05:02 PM

I think this would look 100x better with 4 tail pipes. Im actually considering doing it with 4 right now...

Diffusers are kind of cheap and I could probably mod on myself. My local muffler shop would weld tips with the curved piping for well under $200.

d69chris · 05-08-2011, 05:16 PM

Maybe $200 high, but stainless is not cheap.

No possible way to get a STAINLESS system like that for $200.......

You find a way to get 4 pipes in that space. Besides, I like 2 pipes much better.
