I bought mine off of E-bay and paid a local muffler shop $100.00 to install it. It is all Stainless, 4" turbo back and was $348.00 plus UPS. Total was under $500.00 for a performance exhaust system. This price included them Installing (drill & tap hole in maniflod) the Pyrometers for the exhaust.

I got the MKO system off of ebay for $300.00 delivered. It doesn't come with a tip, but I just got that off of ebay as well. I think it was $35. Way under $900, so you would have money left over for more mods.

I got the same system as Miller from Thoroughbreddiesel and upgraded to the double-walled SS tip installed by local muffler shop for around $550. Great exhaust. Sounds awesome.

I have the same system & same tip. It was $490 shipped to my door and I installed it myself (with a helper) in 2 hours. No reason to spend $900 on exhaust IMHO...

EDIT: Take the money you just saved and get a different intake. The K&Ns let too much dirt through...

Definitely ditch the K&N intake. And even if you think they are really cool, don't do duals!

I agree 100%. Read Nolans thread on what happened to him with a K&N.
