lilmustangboy, sorry If I came off the wrong way, I didn't mean for the post to read like that. What I meant is, that I am actually thinking of trying to get away cheap and just replace my muffler only.

I had my muffler replaced with a Magnaflow 12256 18". It cost me $140 total for the muffler installed which included a pretty significant piece of make up pipe with a few bends, 2 new custom hangers and a chrome tip.
