I have a 99 SE V6 and am about to have dual flowmaster 40 Series installed. I have heard another contour with the same setup and it sounds really good, and did give it a significant torque gain, but i am not sure whether or not I am getting a good deal. I went to my local Midas and asked for a quote on Parts and Labor and he told me $380 and another $20 to cut off the resonater. That includes the custom fabrication for the heat shield that he is sure will have to be installed due to all of the emissions controls crap, which leads me to another question. Anyone have a heatshield on the passenger exhaust pipe? Is it necessary, and is it safe? Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
