Quotes for exhaust

[jakobkindt]

So I have been doing my research on different exhaust systems and I really like the borla S Type. What I don't like is that it is the most expensive cat-back system. So i have been exploring options and visited a couple of local shops... first place only carries knock off brand mufflers. So I wanted to get a quote first they didnt want to run it out behind the rear wheels because it would "drone" inside the cab... they only recommend me running it out the back and quoted me 550. Place no. 2 only carried 2 brands same suggestions on running it out the back but also wanted to not use any exhaust tips as this would also add unwanted noise. They quoted me 650.... couple of questions I have. I have never noticed any of my exhaust having a "drone" because it was ran behind the tire instead of out the back. I have always attributed any done to the muffler that was chosen am I wrong about this? Secondly am I crazy for thinking these prices are to high for what I'm asking for?

For that price are they making you a cat back with your choice of muffler or just muffler swaps?

They are calling it a cat back but using aluminum pipes much like the installer series that MRBP makes that they sell for 450. Nothing is stainless except the tips and the 650 quote didnt include tips.

Snag a Borla muffler or a muffler of your choice and have it swapped in place of your stock one and have the valve cut out. Shouldn’t cost you more than a couple hundred bucks not counting the muffler. I got my two stock mufflers cut out and two bullets welded in on my charger for $250 including the cost of the mufflers.

I am probably going to end up just buying a cat back. For the money they want locally to do exhaust work I can buy something I like in stainless steel and not have to worry with them.

Your money but personally I think it’s a waste to buy a full cat back. The cost vs performance isn’t worth it. And aluminized steel will last a long time and for the cost can be replaced a couple of times versus the price of a cat back.

I don't disagree but I can buy a cat back cheaper than they have quoted me. I have been eye balling the MBRP installer series for 350 if I go single exit or 450 for dual rear exit.

I just bought the Carven TR muffler and will be replacing my stock muffler but their full cat back SS system for $550 is amazing and they sound sooooo good on the 5.3/6.2 engines.

If you want a bat out of hell sound then get the R muffler, otherwise the TR is progressive so it gets louder the harder you push the pedal.

The price is cheaper at other sellers, search around for the best price.

Thanks for the advice. I will check into it.

Have you looked into the GM Borla system? I have it installed on my truck and it has the flapper in it to eliminate drone if you don't already have the AFM disabled. I really like it and its relatively cheap ($1300) considering how much the truck is.

I had the Borla S Type on my 2015 and I loved it. I had plans to take it off when it sold but the guy loved it as well and we made a deal on it. I was trying not to spend that much again.

I've got a Magnaflow with the flapper deleted and it exits exactly where the factory pipe was.

All in - including a black powder coated tip, was $350 out the door.

Ah.  I was still thinking Borla based off of your original post.  For $350 I'd go with the MBRP.  Never ran them on a gas engine but did on a diesel.  Nice systems.

I got the MBRP Installer series single exit behind the wheel and love it. Sounds great and drone isn’t bad at all

Even though the tip is stainless I went to the beach and the saltwater put a hurtin on it quick and it rusted up. I ended up pulling it off and powder coating it black. Other than that the system has been great

Awesome! I cant make up my mind. I am hesitant because I haven't heard one in person. Exhaust sound is very subjective. Some really love flowmaster and It annoys me terribly. I'm hoping to run across one around town that has it so I can listen in person
