Looking for a ball park price on duel exhaust pipes, made by a muffler shop, coming off stock manifolds running back to Cherry Bomb type mufflers with turn downs for 77 Maverick - 302.
if you find a smaller shop that'll go easy on your wallet?.. around $300-$500 depending on how fancy you get with routing and what mufflers you decide on.
I got mine done this weekend for 200.00bucks I have long tube headers and the muffler shop put 2 1/2 pipe with a x-pipe some generic flowmasters and turned down at the rear axle ,couldn't be happier This is in north alabama
My price included over the axle pipes. You will want that or you will have an annoying drone that will drive you bonkers.
Just had mine done for $250. x-pipe and dumping at the axle after flowmaster super44s. I had the Flowmasters from the previous setup so saved a bit there.
lol.. 2 well designed mufflers will nearly cost that in parts alone. Thicker coated longer lasting exhaust pipe ain't even close to cheap either. Especially when you're talking about full length systems AND larger diameters. Then there's the labor time, electricity/gas and welding wire/rod, brackets, and tips on top of all that. If anyone wants a stainless steel system that lasts nearly as long as the car?.. plan on easily spending over $1,000 bucks to get one installed. High flowing quality isn't cheap and is largely responsible for much of the engines performance characteristics when designed correctly. Doesn't usually pay off to underestimate its influence. In fact, a strong exhaust design can influence a weak induction design more so than a strong induction design can influence a weak exhaust design. Physics is fun.
I had true duals all the way out the back with mid-range flowmasters put on for $425. It was also the only exhaust shop that was willing to clean the rust off the original factory exhaust to remove the manifold bolts, so that my have increased the price in labor a bit. (Every other shop was around $500, and that was with just cutting off the old exhaust and welding new pipes onto the old rusted pipes before the holes.)
Thank you guys for your feed back. This gives me an idea what to budget for. Not really sure WHY at this stage. Too far into it to stop now.
