And another one's joining the magnaflow crowd !

On the 2nd part ... maybe the alternator is dying , can't say for sure .

 

[yamaha racer 686]

nope just replaced it and the battery

Don't go to that mervin place,

they fuking charged me 286 to get two mufflers and two tips installed. So since my parts were @ 210$ that brought total cost to close to 500$ for two mufflers and ****. I think i'm done moding cars since I have a sucker sign above my head.

yikes!!!! and are u getting turbo?

hell no.

the current condition of my car is how its going to be until i sell or wreck it.

I was going to get new rims to accommodate some wider tires but i'm just going to say fuk it and get some new fuzion zri's and call it a day.

I don't want to spend any more money on this car. I figure it is still in good condition and baring any major screwups it should take me pretty darn close to 150k miles, at which time i will get a nicer car.

yeah i just need the pipes that split off the dual part and it all welded up

 

[The Digital Slacker]

Yep.

To be honest, I wouldn't have done any of this if i knew it would be 500$ all said and done. I would have just left it stock. It looks better, though it doesn't sound different and it doesn't seem to have that much more power. Oh well, i need to keep telling myself that it was a nice 500$ aesthetic change.

 

[yamaha racer 686]

yeah ill look for sumthing better then that price if its that way i wont be able to afford it for like a year. hell ill weld it up myself

same here man. it ended up costing me just over $500 for just the mufflers. and they even put one on a little crooked! i took my car back and they told me that i probably just hit something because they make sure everything is lined up before giving the car back. they said it would cost another $65 to cut it off and weld it on straight. EFF THAT!

Labor is expensive.

 

[Buddy Palumbo]

I still can't believe Claude charged him that much :nonono: . It's not like him ...
As I told Doug in PM - mine cost nowhere near that at Mervine's .

FYI (just in case) - the $$$ is for the pipes , bends , welds , hangers , etc. - not just labor
