Hey all!
I went to MufflerTech located in Sacramento to get a quote on straight pipes.
Basically it's going to be 3" piping and is going to be straight pipe, y-pipe, and dual 3.5" circular tips on each side (Trying to achieve the Invidia Q300 look). He quoted me $265 for the piping and $160 for both tips.
Just on prior experience form people who have gotten straight pipes, am I getting a good deal or do you know of a shop that will do it for less?
oh and fyi, I AM trying to be obnoxiously loud, so I know about what straight pipes do. ahaha
Thanks!

 

Lmao, what a copycat! You know exactly how loud it is huh, sounds like you can't resist after hearing mine! What Muffler Tech did you go to cuz i had mine done at the one off of Auburn Blvd. i believe for way less, but that's for just single straight pipe & reusing my stock STi tip awhile back. Yup, i love straight pipe, best exhaust imho. If i ever get another performance car, i'll probably straight pipe that sh*t too haha! My SRT-4 was straight piped out the driver side & was even louder! **** paying hella $ for a bigass shiny fart can muffler, simple is the way to go!

 

i had a 2.5" axleback with a magnaflow twin tip (no muffler)made for $175

the tip magnaflow tip was $50 so $125 for piping and labor

tip kinda like this




mine had kinda ****ty welds, but it fits and sounds great

 

Yeah I'm going to keep dual exhaust and dual tips to keep stock look. I can't reuse the stock tips because they're too small so I need to buy new good quality ones. And ~$400 is still A LOT cheaper than getting a quad tip brand name catback. I was really set on getting a single exit fart cannon but I can't just have a huge gap coming off the left side of the rear bumper.

 

Thanks for the input! But I want to get a complete catback with y-pipe so I can keep the stock look of a 2011 WRX. I have to buy (2) 3" inlet to dual 3.5" outlet for each side and he quoted me $65 for each tip. It's a whole different setup than the 04.
And I believe MufflerTech is a solid company that will have good welds, but I could be wrong.

 

Provide your own tips. If you can find them online it would be cheaper that way most likely.

something like this to be as close to stock as possible

Haha yeah I know its different but if my tip was $50 for a 2.5" inlet, $65 doesn't seem too bad for 3" tips...

 

Did you try looking at nameless performance? Nameless Performance Inc.... $299 and quality work...check them out...

 

It's only an axleback tho. I want a full cbe. I'm gonna end up going wwith the q300 because I'm going catless dp andd if I got straight pipes it would be too much.

 

If you really want loud to begin with you'll hate the q300 its very quiet try an invidia n1 race it's loud and reasonably priced. But single exit.. Or get a cutout

 

Cut out ftw.

 

Yeah I was set on getting the N1 Race for the longest time, but I love the quad look too much. And as far as I know, the Magnaflow is the loudest, and I don't like Magnaflow.

 

Damn now that I think about it, I want to get the N1 Race...

 

I love mine :-)

 

My fault, sorry i didn't read the post too well. good luck!
