Just curious, how much ya think?
I know there is a metric **** tonne of info on this but I want a specific answer to a a specific question.
I think Im gonna delete my 2nd cats, and replace with straight pipes. No need to go buy an X or an H or anything like that. Just gonna get em cut out, and replaced with 2 straight pipes.
Should be just about any damn competent shop able to do that?
How much ya figure? I just wanna make sure I don't get hosed.
Spare me the search. Ive earned at least one fast answer around here lol.

Mine was around $420 for everything you described, parts (steel) and labor. If they don't use steel, it will be a bit cheaper. I have seen around $3-500 for the average on the forums.

K. Thanks. I probably could have PMd you cos you were one of the guys I was hoping to hear from.
I gotta pay cash, cos if my wife sees a credit card slip where I am paying money to make this car any louder.....
Once its done tho she will have no idea. To her we sound the same as an F150 with a hole in the can.

LOL!!! Best post ever.
250 for both cats and res at my local shop so maybe 125?
Welds are clean too, so it wasn't a hack job. You'll enjoy the sound. Mine is a bit raspy without res but I enjoy the volume level of it so its worth it.

Pretty sure Im on track here. Little louder, still got the angry rasp, no drone.
Lord knows I have been looking at it forever. Sound being one of the best things about this car I have always been a little leery of messing with it. But Im bored

Use Stainless Steel as the member above mentioned. All higher end muffler shops will carry it.
I paid $300 CAD for my Secondary cat / Reso delete and straight piped in stainless here in Toronto.

Paid a buddy $125 for a nice TIG welding job, and paid $50 for the 2.5" SS tubing....of course just took them off when I put the headers & mids on...

This is what I was thinking.. I remember when i had a 3in exhaust bent and installed on my 69 Camaro with x pipe and 40 series flowmasters for $400.. Maybe Canada is a bit more expensive and the AMG tax will factor in but if it is just to cut pipes out and weld in new ones it should be cheap..
