Does anyone know what a good price quote is for, deleted secondaries and resonator, install magnaflow x pipe with 2.5 inch piping?

From what I've read so far, you should expect to pay around 6-7 hundred to get it done to a true dual. In order to get a true dual you need to have 2 pipes going out the back. So if you're keeping the y under the sway bar it's not a true dual : it's a fake dual.

Why do you want true duals? Not trying to start a war here, but I don't want my AMG sounding like a Mustang... just IMO.

OK, sorry... '89 Camaro w flomasters Just kidding. Like I said, each his own... I couldn't drive the car every day with that sound, it would drive me nuts. But then again, I couldn't drive this car everyday w/ 19" wheels either, and I'm sure people will crucify me for saying that....

OK, and they sound great. The video above is not to my taste.

Anyways, where is this "Evoluuution..." at? So far nothing has been done to the car

Love the black smoke, especially when you rev it cold.

Sounds like an old Chris Craft.
