I thought you said they were made for my Ranger. Now I'm a little confused...

im sorry, they ARE for a ranger, but they are just prebent pipes for your ranger, so its not bolt up stuff as far as the hangars go, and you may need to cut them or bend them a little to get just what you want out of them. But from what youve been posting, i think they are just what you are looking for

Yes they are. $150 shipped is a good price too. I will PM you when I am ready to buy, Bob. Thanks for your help.

Is it dual or a single exhaust? If you have the muffler and just need one tailpipe $300 is outragous. If it is two tailpipes that need to be bent around a spare tire $300 is good or bad depending on where you live. Around here the two tailpipes I would say should be around $225-250 to be custom made. I would get the pre-bent ones that Bob is refering to. Then you just need to weld some hangers on.

I got my dual set up for $260 installed with a new flowmaster 40 series single in/dual out with magnaflow stainless tips. Your muffler shop is a sheister.

All depends on where you live really. A $260 dual exhaust here would be crap. I recently re-did a $500 exhaust done by another shop that was horrible and the guy had to pay another $500 for me to do it right but that was also true dual on a Ford F150. The muffler on your truck and tips here would probably run $200 without pipes, hangers, and labor. I think $300 for a tailpipe is nuts though. I'd say on average around here duals are about $500 for a good system. In southern states stuff costs about half as much here so $260 is just about exactly what it should be. It really is about location and the quality of stuff that gets put on. If duals cost $260 here I'd probably be so bored of doing them because everyone would get duals.

Granted, cost of living does play a factor for any product or service in any given area but I don't think that doubling the cost is quite fair. The shop that did my pipes is a very reputable shop and do fantastic work and you can't beat them on price but I do live in a small town of about 5,000 people in west central Missouri where people around here aren't terribly wealthy and the majority of people are either factory workers, construction workers, or farmers. I still wouldnt give anyone $500 for an exhaust system unless it was all stainless or something special about it.
