Is this price in the normal ballpark? I know nothing of this type of stuff nowadays. Says he makes his own glass packs (without the glass) and knows how to put in the cross over between the two exhausts. This is something out of my area of knowledge so I figured I would ask.
What I thought was really different was- He has a muffler shop and he is wearing a hearing aid in each ear. I wonder why?-LOL.

They should last much longer than something he could make. They sound good too. I wouldn't want a crossover. It would take out some of the character of the sound coming from two pipes by evening it out.

A decent chrome job on all the pipes and mufflers would double that, at least. So that price seems almost too good to be true. FYI, Patrick's new catalog shows a dual system in polished stainless and he says it will go for about $600 complete. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 1,745 Member | | Member Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 1,745 | The whole system is chrome? I doubt that. That wouldn't last, and how would he weld it?

They told me 250 when I called them and when it was on the rack they told me another price. I probably could of found a cheaper shop but they were down the street and the only shop that could do it that day,plus I was excited in driving the truck on the street for the first time since 58.
