Default Question on price to install Muffler or Tips

Hello

Is

$65 a good deal to have two mufflers installed with piping to where the stock bolts are?

Is $25 a good deal to get two tips installed?

What would you rather have... Two dynomax exhaust installed ... about $250

Or two tips installed... about $100?

I'm just looking for a way to get my tips to stick out more, my rear bumper is getting dirty quick due to my rear lip.

$25 for tips sounds like a good deal. Cost me $30. As far as exhaust vs. tips. depends on if you want the growl to go with the looks.

605 and Valley. when you exit, go east, it is a small shop on the right somewhere. If you pass McDonalds, you passed it.

I don't think so. I forgot where JT is. Was it the shop by ABCD? If so, then no.

$65 to have piping made and installed with universal mufflers? That sounds really cheap. Is that a hook-up price?

$65 to have universal mufflers installed to the bolts like how the NUR specs are. Without the mufflers though. I just went there and asked. I never tried bargaining... Maybe even less?

oh, so no custom piping involved? if it's just bolting on some mufflers, do it yourself and save a few bucks. i would go with an aftermarket muffler rather than just tips...if you've got the cash.

but if you want just tips...check out the attachment :eek: i like...

It is custom piping to the bolt. Like how the Nur Specs are. I believe it is called axle-back? So you can unbolt them anytime and put the stock ones back on. If you get a ticket for a modified exhaust as an example.

I just got two Dunk style Mufflers. They have a 4.5" tip. As soon as I get them installed, I will try to take some pics.
