Well if "pretty much the same" includes mandrel bent, non mandrel bent, 2, 2 1/4, 2 1/2, dual, single, welded, muffler clamped, stainless steel, regular metal, etc, then you must be narrow minded on exhaust choices. Lots of choices between companies, especially custom.

please, read my post again before you second guess me, "as far as the piping itself, thats pretty much the same between manufacturers" if you consider that most aftermarket kits for the RANGER are mandrel bent 2.5 in piping, then im really not narrow minded, just focused on the product at hand. and he didnt ask about custom. id ask you to show me a cat back kit that is not mandrel bent and uses 2 inch pipe for the ranger.

I had my exhaust custom made from header to tailpipe. The header cost me $150. It's from a 2.3 pinto. I got a high flow cat. which came form summit, about $150. Glasspack, cheap one, about $25. Exhaust dumps out in front of the rear tire. I had noticable horsepower gain, and I love the sound.

Basically, I am asking what makes the aftermarket ones so much better and is the one at my TMA worth it? I could probably get a dual exhaust for under $300 down there.

An aftermarket set up for $300 will give you better performance and sound.
