Got another quote for an exhaust yesterday...
- Ceramic Coated Pacemaker Comps - 2.5" high flow cat - 2.5" mandrel bent cat back - all fitted for $1250.00 is this good as i was quoted just shy of $1100.00 for just the extractors and high flow cat from G&D not long ago.

ah cool, just thought i'd ask as everyone seems to have the same setup so there would be a round about price to look for.

seen in your signature, that you already have a 2.5" cat back. why cant this place do it for cheaper because you already have the cat back exhaust.

The extractors won't make the noise...it's the cat that will make the noise. with that same setup I was making a very very nice sound with an I6 XR6 HP. I was making 118rwkw with standard tune...141rwkw with haltech tune. I think all up I paid a good $1800, cause the ceramic coated Paccies and hi-flo cat was about $1400ish...so that's a top price.

The Lukey is a great exhuast, and they run a single rear muffler.

Im not sure, I dont have that set up anymore.
I run Pacie Comps, three inch cat, three inch Mandrel bent cat back, and a single straight through three inch muffler at the rear. It aint that loud till you mash the pedal and it gets over 3500-4000 rpm.
