Anyone here install exhaust systems?

[harrycalahan]

Got a car and a truck Id like the exhaust installed on sometime next year. Nothing fancy but I want a solid bent tube system with good hangars. I can bring the mufflers if needed. Rainbow muffler quoted me close to $400 for my truck that doesnt even need an entire system and that was me providing the mufflers. Last time I had a guy stick build a system it was $120 iirc back around 2001.

That's about the last time I had one built too from the headers back (to include a cross over tube) and I paid around $200 and I provided the mufflers. They did a clean job and it was rock solid and sounded great and I went with 2 1/4" iirc.
For a mandrel bent custom exhaust almost 20 years later the $400 doesn't sound too outrageous.

$400 is cheap. You cant buy a prebent system for that, much less have one done up.
