I think it was in the thread I linked to, but I paid $275 for the whole deal, out the door, everything welded (no clamps!). I'd expect a shop to charge you between $300-$500. Since you're not getting tips, i'd guess it'd be on the lower end of that scale.
I think my shop used 2.25" ID pipes, not 2.5", I can check if you want me to.

You will gain a sweet sound with true duals, but without enough performance modifications ( CAI, Tune, Engine related improvements over OEM quality... ) you wont have enough scavenging to perform as good as a cat-back, but it wont be that noticeable unless you tow. Then you will notice the rpms are up higher and it will shift alot more.
Replicate Patricks exhaust, nice, deep and loud. Or grab some Magnaflow 11" bodies or Borla Pro XS mufflers, should suit you well. My system has me quite happy. Clips and stats available in sig.

so u recoomend him going with 2.5" and decreasing his velocity,employing the static regain method?,my 2.25 " does not pop or cackle-i guess your 2.25" did pop and cackle since you said it will do that ,you obviously speak from experience with 2.25"
lol kinda late on this thread, but yea go with true duals to get a SWEEET sound
ive got true dual 10 series flowmasters and 94106 magnaflow cats (sig if you wanna hear it

im late too, and half of the thread is about me :o
Having the X pipe up closer will help balance things out before they get too far back. You want the mufflers as far back as you can for their own lifespan/longevity.
You can also do over the axle dumped, which will probably be my next setup once i have a little more time and money to throw at it.
