My grand total came out to about $280, but I ran tips. The tips costed me $50 so overall, you can get it done for probably $225... The Thrush welded series mufflers are only $30 online, and labor was only like $170 for me.

I just have straight duals, installed by a custom exhaust shop. The finished product cost me $130, after tax and all. The car definitely sounds a little ricey if you step on it too hard. I'm going to get myself some welded Thrush mufflers or their resonator turn downs. I think that straight pipes sound just a bit to raspy.

Get the welded mufflers, you won't regret your decision.

anyway, best way to get a good sound:
longtubes, 2.5" tubing, chambered mufflers. big cam. do you idle? your cam isnt big enough. then go a rumpabumpbump'in downt eh road pissin off them hookers and pimps

Default straight pipes are the way to go

i have a 3.8l v6 running dual exhaust with no mufflers and it sounds pretty darn nice plus its way cheaper than mufflers

Why do new people come in, revive old threads like this that have been answered with useless stuff, then never come back.
