ATS exhaust

Well I am about ready but I have a question about the system from ATS. I have a 99' F250 PSD with a 1705 chip tuner. I want to get the exhaust done and a local dealer sells the ATS installed for $850. Is the ATS a good sustem. It will be 4 inches SS from the back of the trubo to the taillpipe.

Help please!

You could do it yourself and save $300. I'm no mechanic, just a computer fixer, and I did mine. Only took me a week.

Thanks

I saw the same kit online for $850. I guess i am not looking at the right site. I am looking at shopdiesel.com . What kind did you put on your truck?

Mine is not SS. I got it at MoterHaven (one of FTE's sponsors) for $350. It is 4 in with a 3.5 in DP.

That is the system they have. I really don't feel like ordering it and doing it myself. I am just looking for the best system.

Well, if its REALLY stainless steel and they install it (man that was a long week) I suppose it would be a good deal. But, you know, that 3.5 DP was a real bear to get in my '97. I don't know how a 4 inch would fit, but I guess they do. That part of the install itsself might be worth some of the extra bucks.

Thanks

I do like to save money but I would hate to drive it some where and finish the job I started. That is why I will have it done instead of doing it myself. I am sure I could do it but.....

Have you done any other mods to your truck?

I am debating changing my springs in the tran.

i have that exact system, and it works very well. i plan on having my truck for a while so i wanted stainless(never have to worry about another exhaust system). the fit and finish is very good and it took me an afternoon to install it. if they will install it for $850.00 that is a good deal, i paid about that much for mine and had to install it myself
