Are you sure you want the system welded in? If you ever need to make a change, or need to do any work on the car it can be a problem with a welded system. This past weekend I changed over to bullitt mufflers and the only weld was on the X pipe to down tubes, so everything else could be unbolted and adjusted easily.
+1, I had to pay some more in labor and parts when I had the tranny swap done since everything was welded. I had clamps added though.

Here's some videos/pics of mine. They're quick a dirty - I should record some better quality ones. Also did the installation myself. :-) And no welds!

Agreed. I gotta give a plug for Alex's exhaust in Bridgeport (in between Norristown and King of Prussia) too. One of the best guys in the area and a good family friend for a while now

Well I would love to see a price better than 750, considering I still need to find out if what they are providing me mufflers wise, 2010 GT500, or '07-'09.... Any help is much appreciated

I ran straight pipes back from the cats to gt mufflers. Parts and labor cost me $237 at the local muffler shop.

They might be sizing you up. I brought GT take offs to a muffler shop. They built the x-pipe and installed everything for $175. Why would the mufflers you are talking about and the exhaust work be that much?

Ya, they are raping you on labor. Go to a different shop.

They told me 250 if I bring my own mufflers, I may just do that.
