... uses stainless pipe with mandrel bends, puts the muffler on of my choice (most likely Magnaflow 14"), and installs tips of my choice for around $430 drive-out. I'm thinking this is a decent deal, right?

Seems like a pretty sweet deal to me and quite a bit cheaper than the Corsa system that I was planning on getting.

 

Check with 1. brads muffler shop in alvin tx or 2. deer park muffler in deer park tx. deer park muffler did my true dual setup with bullets tips and new pipe for 400 less than everyone i called around.

 

Stainless, and mandrel, $430, very good deal!

 

Deer Park is not far from work, think I'll check them out too. Thanks wutecht.

Edit 'cause of Darren's comment: I thought it sounded like a good deal. A bolt-on kit runs that much or more. I think I would've already been to that shop but it requires planning 'cause it's kinda far from the hacienda.

 

Okay, so I called the other muffler shop. They say that it's better to go true dual with the X pipe for $450. He says it'll give me better performance and better sound. I have the 4.6L so would the SI/DO perform better or should I go true dual with an X pipe?

 

I have a friend who had the Ripley's location on FM1960 put an exhaust system on his 2010 Mustang and he was very pleased with their service and the quality of their work.....

 

I say true dual, thats opening the exhaust up alot more than a si/do setup i was really suprised on what sound performance and even gas mileage (if i can keep my foot out of it) i got with true dual

 

It is nice huh?

 

ive talked to the owner of the ripleys on sawdust in the woodlands and he custom makes his own y pipes and such as well, seemed like a very knowledgable guy

 

X2 on wutecht. I went to the same place in Deer park. I have a magnaflow SIDO and I got the whole thing for $200 out the door

 

neither one of those places does mandrel bends or uses stainless pipes

 

Well, that's a deal-breaker. I didn't ask the Deer Park guy about that stuff when I was on the phone. Thanks for bringing it up.

 

hell yes it is i just passed my saftey inspection im thinking about puttin maggies on it or just cutting my mufflers off
