Seems kinda pricey; I bought a Flowmaster system w/ mufflers from Summit for $299.

Mrapi, what did you have to do with the trans crossmember?

hey you guys, can you tell me about how far away from the trans you notched the crossmember? I'm going to do it tomorrow, and I don't even have the motor in yet, the only reason i'm doing it now is because by the time i do put the motor in i won't have access to a torch. thanks

Exhaust systems vary. This was the second time I had to notch my crossmember as my first dual exhaust system had the pipes closer together. I would wait till you trial fit the exhaust pipes.
