I bought two Thrush turbo mufflers and had the "mid pipe" or whatever you guys call it (the one that looks like it would be a drive shaft) size increased installed and it was only $125. I kept the stock tips as to me they look fine, although i prefer the dual quad exhaust but haven't found one that I like. I was tempted to get the Magnaflow mufflers but IMO it was too loud. My setup is perfect, not too loud-just right.

Now if I can find a header I'll be happy!

 

Be possible to get a sound clip?

I will second you on the header lol

 

If you can make it to Woodbridge, there's a thread on here about a shop that has come highly recommended. I think it's a Midas... contrary to what you've stated about them above. But then again, you're over in the People's Overtaxed Republic of MD... LOL! j/k!

I paid $400 for a pair of Magnaflow mufflers and tips at a local shop in Hyattsville, MD.

 

I found a good shop in Glen Bunrie called Tony's Custom Exhaust. He quoted me $425 for 2 mangaflows and installation. I would have to buy what tips I wanted but he would put them on for me in that $425. Doesn't seem too bad. Although tips are another $100 at least.

Has me thinking off an offbrand muffler. Something like this.... Pair 2 25" Offset in 2 1 4" Center Out Stainless Steel Mufflers Magnaflow Style | eBay

Just grab those and have them do the installation. That could save some costs heh. Maybe I will just stop in when I am down there with some free time and talk with the guy. I have heard Cooley's in person and they sound great. So anything else would worry me with drone, etc. I CAN'T have a lot of drone with a baby on the way.

Yeah that is a great price. It didn't sound like he sold tips so that makes me wonder if I stopped in what I could find out. Hyattsville is just too far for me.

No kidding needed...we are overtaxed like no other. We have a **** rain tax. Seriously Rain tax. As if we can control the rain.

 

The shop I went has a small chain. See if there is an "Auto Mufflers" near you.
