buying muffler
i'm thinking of getting a 80 series muffler for my camaro, and was wondering how much it should cost. meineke said they could put it on for 250 no more than 300 $. becuase they have to buy the part and install. or should i buy it then take it to a shop and have it installed. is that a fair price. how much did you guys pay.

Re: buying muffler
I bought mine off ebay for a reasonable price and took it to a local shop to have them put it on. Total I think it cost me around $250-$300 for parts and install. I personally think it's too much work to do exhaust, plus some of that shit you can't weld on without making some pretty harmful gasses.

Re: buying muffler
i dont have any welds on my exhaust, get some stainless steel exhaust clamps, and put the muffler on yourself.

Re: buying muffler
I My exhaust is all welded and I also have a 80'sFlowmaster, To be honest I like the security that nothing can come loose but hey I am sure the clamps work great and if you welding skills are not up to par and can not afford to have it done go ahead and use the clamps.

Re: buying muffler
I have an 80's series flow on and at the same time I had the guy put 3" pipe from the cat all the back to the 80's series then 3" out of the 80's series to the 3 and a half inch chrome slash tips. Looks and sounds awsome. Its the throatiest LT1 I've ever heard without headers. You should get the same set-up it only cost me like 325 for everything installed. Well worth it.
