I THINK you could by the muffler and have a local shop do the pipes and tips cheaper by the time you figure shipping in. Besides that if your like me and 90% of the others here you will have an exhaust shop hang the system anyway. I personaly have found they charge about as much to hang someone elses pipes as they do to bend and hang theirs. In this case you paying right at $275 for a $80 muffler and $40 worth of tips...plus you still have to get them hung. My local shop using my tips and muffler will build and install a header (or manifold) back for $125 (or in your case cats back)...or they will hang someone elses for & $85. That is with welded joints. So if things in the north part of the state are like they are here (and trust me I realize its a totally different country up there....anything north of Macon is still part of the Union) you will have roughly $360 in that system or you will have $250ish in one you local muffler shop makes.
If your going with a "tested and tuned" cat back like Borla, Banks, Maggie and so on then thats cool to buy it and carry it in...but if you want home made just get it at "home".

Thats not the 10 series, and I have my cats removed so it sounds different. That is the 40 series it looks like. 2 chamber, quieter. If you're looking for sound don't even put a muffler in there, it's only going to cost more. Piping is much cheaper and louder to boot.

I'd have to agree with RamSS/T. I just bought a Flowmaster DI/DO 50 series with 4" x 20" slash cut stainless tips, installed for $300 and came with a two year warranty from the muffler shop where I got it.
Find yourself a good locally owned muffler or speed shop, you might be suprised just how much cheaper they can be over the big chain stores.
