Did they give specs on the Magnaflow mufflers?

Yeah, flo pro is just a knock off flowmaster. I wouldnt pay $500 for a knock off flowmaster cat back, but thats just me. Hell, I got a real flowmaster cat back put on my mustang for $400 at Midas.

See if they will come off the price some if you supply your own mufflers and X-pipe.

BS. It's a sales pitch because Flo-Pro is dirt cheap and they make a lot more money on it than Magnaflow. I had a Flo-Pro muffler on mine, and it rotted out in less than 3 years.

If you want true duals, you need a X-pipe.

If you go DIDO, you need to replace the factory Y-pipe with an X-pipe.

Is the $500 including tips? I would try to talk him down or ask how much installation is if you bring your own parts.

You better inspect it yourself to make sure it has the internal X-pipe. If it does have it, then you won't need to buy a stand alone X-pipe.
