Default Wanna get exhaust done

Nothing fancy. I just wanna remove the factory muffler and replace it with a Flowmaster or something along those lines with a good deep sound to it. I got a quote from one place near where I work for $95 to cut, replace muffler, and thats it. No tips or running it dual out the back. What are some prices in St Pete or South Tampa area?

I'd pay $65 if it was a flow master but he's pawning off some no name brand in place of it. I am thinking I will just let Rainbow muffler do the flow master with dual outlet with it run behind both wheels for $175

Hahaha. 2 chamber Flowmaster installed for $50.

Well it was used for a week and the guy didn't like the sound. Would you get a used muffler?

Well as long as it is in good shape the Flowmasters don't wear out unless they rust.

You really sure you want the drone on your daily driver? I would say leave the truck stock and get a project car like you've said before.

Besides, if you are like most of us you need a solid driver because the car will always be down for some reason....

Do you own a Torch Red FRC and tremble every time you drive under I75 on Hwy 60 and look in your rearview mirror? If so you are suffering from what is known as Cobraphobia.

Had duals on my old truck and it sounded good. Most people asked if I swapped in a V8.
