As far as chain shops go, I had Meineke replace my whole system from headers back, including enlarging pipe to 2 1/2 inch, adding the "X" crossover, and Flowmaster mufflers....cost with tax was $636...no labor on my part, done in a couple of hours and a warranty to go with it. I couldn't beat that.

WOW!  I went to my Meineke and they quoted me just under a G for just 2 mufflers and installation!  They tried to give me a bath apparently... :/

"You know, we always called each other goodfellas. Like you'd say to somebody: You're gonna like this guy, he's all right. He's a goodfella. He's one of us. You understand?"

I guess they did Exclamation I had another estimate from another exhaust shop and their quote $825 for the same thing. I guess each Meineke is independently owned and they can set whatever price they want to. Ouch

Zips is 295.00 for a complete factory system. Like I said, 2 hours to install. It will allow you to drink a higher quality of beer. Natural is for cooking Brats. Also, thanks Joel.

One thing I failed to mention is that if your car has been outside, or used much, you may need to buy the hangers and seals. I didn't have to buy any of this because of low mileage. (14,427 as of today)
