Did you by the whole Kit or just the cat back? I was thinking about going with them and just getting the catback and having the local muffler shop run the pipes back

I had my local muffler shop install a flowmaster w/ the pipes exiting straight out the rear. They sound great under acceleration and are not to loud at idle, nice and mellow.

I just bought the cat back. One of these days I would like to get the Headers as well. I found the Magnaflow kit on Ebay from Citymufflers. He had 10 and says to make an offer. He has free shipping too. I went with 450 but you might be able to get it cheaper.

I endorse using a local shop, that way you can get a warranty on the labor. I paid $200 for a Dynomax Turbo (SIDO), without chrome tips, exiting straight out the back.

I'm leaning toward the Local shop because they did a great job on a Cut-Out I had them put on a 98 Dakota once.

Another advantage is that you can go to the local guys if you have a problem, instead of dealing with a phone-based customer service dept. To me the cost savings is still the greatest advantage of getting it done locally. The prices I've seen online for cat-back systems (even at deep discount, still around $400-$500) that you have to install yourself just aren't worth it.

I had the Mag SS SIDO installed with pipes and chrome tips for $550 at a local chain muff shop. Very clean job and all welded. Whats with the 12gallon stock muffler Ford hung under these trucks? Seems like overkill in the size dept.
