hey, i have been looking into a couple of exhaust systems for my first mod to my 2008 FX4. I'm liking the look of this one
http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/s...e=Trucks&id=73 but my family isnt the install it yourself type. will pepboys or who ever i purchase this from do it for me? if so whats the cost?? is this the right exhaust to buy also? thanks for the help!

 

Yes that exhaust will fit, you might want to shop around a bit and see if you can find a lower price. That price seems high to me.

A shop will install your exhaust for you and charge you buy the hour. With a bolt on kit it doesn't take but an hour to put them on. You can do it yourself. All you need to do cut the old one off and bolt in the new one. Simple hand tools to do the job.

I'm sure there is someone on here near you that would help you out.

 

I have magnaflow SIDO catback system and cost me about three sixty give or take a little. Good choice though I love mine
that included installation

 

cool thanks for the info, i'll look into this and maybe be able to find a better deal.

 

Notice that its a Mandrel bent Stainless Steel.. price seems about right to me :-)

 

Thats the same kit I've got on my truck, I bought mine over summit racing for about 550 dollars if I remember right. It fit really good, I have put a few bolt on systems on other vehicles and this one fit the best. I'm really happy with mine, I like the sound a lot.

 

Summit Racing has them for $566.95.

why does people spend so much on "Cat back bolt on" exhausts?? Damn id think people would just buy a muffler take it to a shop, tell them what they want and BAM done....NO WAY id ever spend that much on somethink like that

 

Mandrel bends vs crush bends. Yes it makes a difference especially on high power engines. Also they are usually 50 state legal and have been test to make maximum power. I spent 400ish on my Magnaflow.

 

ive got dual swept side gibson and i love it.. looks awsome, and sounds awsome.. ive heard the magnaflow on a 3.0L ranger and it sounded good.. anything sounds better than stock

 

i think what hes saying is go to an exhust shop that dose mandrel bending and get one fabed for cheaper.. thats what i would do, no wya would i spend over 300 bucks on a cat back system its like 2 feet of pipe a muffler and a tip.. what a rip off, i dont care if its mandrel bent or not thats outragouse i would spend 600-800 on a full exhust no problem..

 

The reason I spend so much on an exhaust is because anytime I've ever gone to an exhaust shop they always screw something up, they NEVER EVER seem to weld tips on straight ect. I guess I'd just rather spend the money for something I know will fit and look right, but just cause I've had bad experience doesnt mean thats always how it is I suppose.

 

How about the sound?? too loud or not?? . Anyone have clips??

 

take it to a muffler shop and get complete duels

 

yea im not to happy right now because i guess i cant get the rear end style i want cause my trailer hitch??? very uncool, i dont care about sound that much im just in it for looks. so any cheap one is fine...i guess i might look into the side sweep style, im looking for the cheapest one possible the apears as a chrome dual exhuast.

 

If your going to change your exhaust you might as well get something that sounds decent.
