Are they askin to much

Post by I8A4RE »

went into exhaust shop today and they are a pretty good place from what i hear. I asked for 2 cannons coming out the centre 2.5" pipping and a high flow cat, they wanted just under $1100

1) Does this sound about right, is there anyway (any place) i could sourch the parts myself and then get them to fit it.
2) Some1 posted
make sure u get a good quality high flow cat
how do i know its a good quality 1 (i think he quoted about $350 for the cat)

the high flow cat in my FTO is a bit of an unknown one...but got the results so it must be good. The one in my R33 is a 730CFM rated one...go check out the ones in the previous cat thread..they have some good ones for like 300-400.

IMO $1100 sounds about right...assuming that include the mufflers also and fitting.

Did you want one cannon on each side, or 2 cannons on one side (i dont think this will work now that i think about it lol), or did you mean 2 cannons side by side dead centre?
