Is this a good price for an exhaust?

$380 for a custom 3" mandrel bent catback exhaust w/ no muffler? Is that a good price? I was thinking a N1 style muffler from ebay. Some $25 one or something.

Re: Is this a good price for an exhaust?

you can buy a full Apex'i N1 catback for 435. sooooo I would just get the actual thing.. instead of spending that much money on a ricer muffler and an exhaust with no resonators... just my opinion of course.

Re: Is this a good price for an exhaust?

the 380 is installed as well. And where do you see the full N1 for 435? The mufflers are all the same anyway, I'm not worried bout that

I think Apex N1 cat back is more than 435... unless I'm not looking at the right places.... otherwise I'd have one already.

are you kidding me????? hey this is just a tube with some welds, not a space ship... and with NO MUFFLER!?!?!?!?!

jeeeez... i got a full custom 2.5" [i could have got a 3" for the same price] DP-back exhaust complete with muffler for under $200 installed and welded, and a polished tip.

get a full catback w/muffler for that much, don't get ripped off for a tube.

So there are actual resonators inside the tubing of the exhaust in the apex'i N1? I thought they were just in the muffler

Re: Re: Re: Is this a good price for an exhaust?

any cat-back should have resonators in line...

my first one was a single pipe that connected to the DP... no cat, no resonators, 1 pipe to the muffler.
