hey just to give you a price to put in your mind - I own an exhaust shop and I would charge a guy off the street about 200. That would be from the y to behind the tire, with 3", with a magnaflow or a flowmaster and new hangers and a tip. magnaflow is a nice diesel performance muffler. It looks like the chreey bomb on the inside (No restriction), and they come in 3"

i got the same engine and am looking to straight pipe it. I got straight sections of 4" stainless 20' long. Will straight pipes cause any back pressure issues or any thing else?

Talking one more thing

also helps out to smooth out the y pipe junction with a 45 degree,factory connection doesn't smooth out the flow very good.just my thoughts,but i did try about 3 different systems before i went 4in. straight.good luck and sweet exhaust tones.
