Mine was similar, but I paid alot more for install:

360 Coated Headers
110 Y Pipe
300 Hooker Catback
320 Install
___________

$1090

 

I've got the exact same setup, but installed it myself. Only thing I don't care for is the slipfit connection, I think Ima weld it, tired of random leaks cause U-bolts work their way loose. I love the sound though, throaty when ya get on it, but quite quiet at Idle.

 

Speed Engineering was running a special thru the end of December on the Headers+Ypipe I think. Check the vendor section to see if they are still doing it. I got the Hooker Catback thru Summitt, shiping was free and there was only like 5-8 bucks for handling.

 

I am running Pacesetter LTs and off road Y-Pipe with a Hooker cat back and I love it! I used to run a Loudmouth and liked that... until I got the headers. The Hooker brought the sound right to where I wanted it. It sounds nice and mean at idle and it at a reasonable volume (still a lot louder than stock but nothing too crazy) and it really starts to roar as the RPMs climb. Tone is a nice and mean too. I did have to have a muffler shop expand the I pipe from the catback ever so slightly to slide over the Pacesetter Y-pipe. They didn't even charge me for it but it is something to keep in mind incase you find the same problem. Good Luck!

 

Where did you get the Headers for $360 at?

 

Yeah, the part where you have to cut the i pipe and do something where the y pipe meets it is a problem if your doing it at home in your garage.

The slip fit collecters also suck. Some one said to weld them, but i wouldnt recommend it unless your a 100% sure your never going to have to remove any of your exhaust. I used clamps on mine, which is also a mistake because it mashes the two pieces of pipe together where they are clamped and takes lots of time to get them apart. The best bet for slip fit collectors is to pick up a set of three bolt flanges and have the shop weld them on or use a different kind of clamp other than what the piece of ****s are that come with the system. This way your exhaust is easily seperated.

Well even if you have the pipes welded, they can be cut

 

Yeah, the normal "U clamps" are really bad due to kinking the pipes so I ordered a few stepped band clamps from summit for my headers and exhaust.


They do not kink the pipes at all and I have been very happy with them. What is the big deal with small exhaust leaks anyway??? People are always paranoid about them, but why? I can't see why it would be a big deal.

 

Not to mention those band clamps seal surprisingly well. I have my whole exhaust done with them, no leaks and no kinks.
