I've gotta get my exhaust redone (exhaust leak) in the next 2 weeks in order to pass inspection. I found a Borla Pro XS muffler, 2.25" center in, 2.25" offset out, for $69 + $12 shipping on ebay. I've also found 3.5x22" stainless tips for $50 +$15 shipping on ebay. My local shops want somewhere between $190 and $195 to get it all installed. That brings the final total to about $350! Is that about what y'all paid? To buy it through the shops would be either $355 for chrome tips or $370 for chrome tips. Anyone know of a good muffler shop in the DFW area I can get the install done at for less than $190?

 

i think i paid 320 or so and got chrome tips and everything welded and bent

 

350 is about normal for most exhaust

 

Yeah do keep in mind a borla muffler is more expensive than a flowmaster, mangaflow, or gibson. $190ish sounds about right for labor then?

 

Used Magnaflow SI/DO on eBay for $17 ($30ish with S&H) and $150 to install w/mandrel bent tubing.

 

sounds like a good deal to me my costs for exhausts sytems has been-

SI/DO new pipes and tips
-magnaflow 450-475

SI/DO muffler and tip swap-
-flowmaster(used the same pipe as magnaflow) 100 for install and muffler 50 for tips

SI/SO new pipes-
-borla(got the 100 muffler for free) 100$ total for install and pipe(no tips)

 

i paid around 200 for everything installed... flowmaster 40 series single in dual out with tips so that seems very high

 

Where's the leak? you might (if you like your setup now) be able to use some jb weld to close the hole.

 

Haha no don't have a set-up now. It's just stock. I've wanted an exhaust system, and I may be able to convince my mom to pay the cost of getting the leak repaired towards my new exhaust system instead, and I just pay the difference. Anyone have any idea what getting an exhaust leak fixed might cost?

 

$150 for dynomax catback :) Bolt on, installed myself.
I did look for prices for custom exhaust and the few i had gotten were around $300 i think...but cost of living is more expensive in the NE. Proces will definately vary by location and the type of shop you go to.

I would like to go with a lightning style or similar but instead of under the body, cut through the bed body just under the EDGE and have it exit there...Tom Barcya has his that way las t I saw.

 

I paid about $250 with Flowmaster 40 series and two tips and piping on the F-150 and $180 with the glasspack and duals on the back on the Ranger.

 

i got the magnaglow si/do and chrome camero tips installed for 279...they may be charging you more because you didn't get it from them...shops here do that. something you need to watch out for

 

mine cost $323 through a custom car place... but i went there cuz i had a gift certificate, you could probably get flowmaster dual exit with 3in tips for around $300. that place just sent me to a local exhaust place.

 

anyone heard the Borla pro XS? I'm thinkin about getting it. but what style do I need, size etc....

 

look at 01xltranger4x4's signature. he has a clip of his exhaust there. Borla Pro XS muffler 2.25" si/so center/offset muffler, 3.5x22" SS tips dual exit. sounds badass.

 

i wanna say sarah paid like $300 for everything...probaly a little less...

mine was like $40 and 30 was for the tip :-D

i could get u a hook up down here but.. thats a long drive to waco...if u have everything....they will do it for under 190... i keep the muffler shop in business down here lol i get good deals

 

If I wasn't under a time constraint that would be a great deal. I've gotta have it done in the next week and a half in order to not be out the first $40 from my inspection. Thanks for the offer! If I have the opportunity I may still take you up on that offer. We will see when the parts get here.

 

It's been a little while but here is what I think I payed...

Muffler-60
Tips-~20ish
Install and 5 year warranty on anything he put on (excluding muffler) about 250.

So about 330 total. I can't seem to find the receipt. I might have it in my truck.

I know that seems high but I'll pay the extra cash to get it done right. Two other small shops would do it for cheaper but both don't have a very high reputation. I also did not get mine fully mandrel bent. The guy that wrote it up put it on there and the guy that did it said he didn't... sorta confusing but he explained why he didn't and blah blah.

But enough rambling... 350 sounds high from what it looks like to me. If i didn't go warranty way it would be about 275 for all mine I think.

 

Thanks Zach for the link....Sorry i havent been on here in so long ive been working ALOT lately!!!


Kyle, that Price sounds about right.....BUT what kind of pipes are you looking at? i have Stainless Steel becuase it going to last forever...if that price is for aluminized i would check around some more.....

You will defenitly want to get the Pro-Xs Center/Offset muffler and have the shop put a Y after the muffler......Reason is - The Center/Offset is the SHORTEST muffler borla makes in the pro-xs series.....Anything bigger than that will be a little quiet for your tastes. IM pretty sure my muffler is about 13-15" in length.

Anyway good luck, and tell your mom an exhaust leak is 425.00 + Tax to get fixed......haha

 

I paid about 400 with all 4 diff set-ups i had.

If you wanna drive down, so they can see the truck man, you can come to the shop i go to. They know me now. :)

 

$60ish for the flowmaster 40

$40ish for my 18" SS tips

$100 to get it all beat and warrentied for life...

 

$95 installed for a flowmaster. Oh wait i dumped it cuz i wasnt gonna pay the extra $200 just to have tips out the back. and IMO dumped sounds better but thats just my opinion.

 

i had dumps and now my duals, dump sounds good but man is it loud got old after a while
