Exhaust Price
I am looking into getting a new exhaust installed. I got quoted $320 for true dual straight pipes with two stainless 18 in. tips. Does that sound about right? Also, how do you think it would sound? By the way, it's on a 2001 F-150 5.4 V8.

It wont be to terribly loud, that is if you're planning on keeping the cats on it. That was a popular setup around the shop I use to work at. Although if your planning on running it with no cats and no mufflers its gonna be insanely loud, and you'll grow tired of it in a couple days tops.
The setup I described (straight pipes after the cats) on a 5.4 or 4.6 F150 reminds me a lot of the sound of glasspacks on a older truck. Deep rumble under light/moderate throttle, and loud rapping and cackles under full throttle. Some people don't like the sound, but I've always had glasspacks on my trucks so it sounded awesome to me.
320 sounds about right. We use to do that setup for 275, but that was minus the tips, that was about 5 years ago too. If its too loud for ya, or doesn't sound deep enough, then throw a 40 dollar set of glasspacks on it.
