Muffler Delete pipe

I just called a local shop about having my muffler deleted on my '18 F250 6.2 and adding ss pipe in replace and was quoted 475!!!!! They told me they would have to add a rice pipe in place and would have to tune it to the truck...... I've never heard of such, I just want to delete muffler and add a pipe. I'm definitely going to call around, but don't most exhaust shops carry pipes to stick back into place?

Yes, that's what they do.

Most muffler deletes sound like crap. Around here it's $50 ...

I’d avoid that shop. “Tune” a bypass pipe sounds the equivalent of replacing muffler bearings. It should cost an hour labor and a piece of leftover pipe at most. Sounds like they quoted you the price of a cat back re-pipe.

Thanks for that. I'm curious if I should just buy a pipe from summit for 65.00 bucks and take to exhaust shop to put in place of muffler...

I wouldn't even do that. I would go to a muffler shop, walk up to the guy who does the work. Show him $40 and ask him to rack it and do it with pipe they have there.

This is what I did, only because the muffler shop i worked with didn't have 3.5in stainless on hand.

Are you happy with your choice? I've only heard good things so far about muffler deletes sounding a lot better with little drone.....

I had both of mine removed and it droned too much for me (especially in 6th at around 2k RPM). I took it back and had an aftermarket muffler added instead which gave me more of a happier medium ground.

Although I towed my 7k lb trailer for the first time since the delete this weekend and it started droning again - so now it has me questioning if I should go back to stock or not.

I am very happy with my choice. The drone has never really bothered me and I would say it is minimal compared to other vehicles I have owned.
