how much is your shop going to charge, i would assume it would be less then 150 just to add tail pipes...

2.5" is fine..3" is for highly modified. Id say a shop would be the cheapest for the tail pipes.
Think I pay'd around 150.

3.5" tips can look good on SN95s if they're done right. I used to have 2.5" with my Flowmasters and I liked them at first but after a while they started looking small. I have 3" tailpipes on my Bassani now and I really like it but again I am used to them now. 3.5" might look big at first but they will grow on you.
