This seems like a great deal, being able to choose the muffler and the tips, but is $310 (+$30 shipping) too much? Going to their website, they seem to be a good company. What do you all think?? 98 Contour SE Sport MTX 52K Miles Pioneer DEH-P4100 HU 2 Kicker Comp VR 10" Kicker XS-50 1000W amp stock as of now, we'll see soon...

You should be able to get something like that done for under $300 at your local shop. Get some tips and the muffler on the net and you could probably save even more. It looks like mandrel bends and a fairly decent Y adaptor though. (It's also sold, hope you got it if you really wanted it...) Scott 95 SE-2.5L ATX (120K+ miles & many mods)

Except local shops will be crappy crush bends! Big difference!!! That's a decent price for a completely mandrel bent exhaust. Mandrel bending is not cheap. Even buying pre-made mandrel bends yourself and welding your own exhaust would still be over $200. (including muffler & hangers) Plus you'd have to line up the tips even... :p 2000 SVT #674 - Check it out! Whoever coined the phrase; "If it ain't broke; don't fix it" ~ Just doesn't get it...

But I guess I should say it's expensive consider the Brullen I got cost me $617 installed. UBRF.org , Western New York's Premiere Automotive Forum. Yeah, I got some bolt-ons.
