Arrow Exhaust Cost Questions and Other...

I'll list questions so easier to answer. (Camaro 2SS)

1) Around how much will it cost to put magnaflow x-pipe, muffler delete, and new quad tips? (I will have already bought the x-pipe and tips)

2) I will call first, but does any exhaust shop know how to do that stuff? And are there any questions I should be prepared to answer while there?

3) I will have to buy a new rear diffuser to fit the quad exhaust tips vs the dual stock tips I have now. Do they usually know how to take off the rear diffuser and put on the new one (that I will bring)?

4) Are there different size of straight pipes? I thought it was just a pipe but I hear people say they have a 2.5 inch or something.

Less than $200. I'd do the diffuser myself and avoid any issues and cost. You have stock exhaust it seems so your pipes are 2.5". Stick with that for the delete. Pretty much any shop who can cut and weld can do the job. Just ask beforehand and if they give any odd answers or whatever then bail.

I paid $100 for my muffler delete and kept they exhaust tips.
Best investment ever.

But don't they need the rear diffuser to line up the tips? lol

You could put it on yourself before having exhaust work or pay them to do it for you.

Oh ok. How long does it usually take to do all that stuff? And is it easy to take off and put on rear diffuser without the car lifted up?

The diffuser pops right off after removing 6 small screws. No need at all to lift the car.
