$150 for install on all of that isn't bad at all. But you will probally be regretting those mac mufflers you bought, they tend to sound really raspy without cats.

Those mods are super easy to do yourself. The $150 labor can be spent buying a set of tools and do it yourself.

i have the mac mufflers. actually i have the o/r h pipe and the mac cat back. honestly it sounds freaking fart can obnoxious and high rpms, but it kinda grew onto me. im like yea i know it doesnt sound v8ish, i didnt want it to, because its not. after i came to that realization i was pleased with the raspy sound for now.

6) Wasted $$$$

Good for most of it - I'll go 20 hp.

Isn't #1 wasted $$$ also?

I'll go 14 peak hp without any kind of tuner.

As for the body mods, I don't think its going to flow very well.
