New exhaust installed...
After living with a blown cat and loose down pipe for 6 months I finally got my new exhaust installed. I am running 3" stainless steel all the way with mandrial bends. Both the cat and resonator have been removed. I am using a Magnaflow muffler off of a V8 Camaro with twin dual rolled chromed square tips. I went with the 3" because I have plans to install a CAI and a 2.25 - 2.4 */c pulley in the real near fuure. I wanted to make sure I had plenty of CFM flow thru ther system.
Here are some pics:

This was entirey a custom install. The pipe was also rerouted to avoid uneccissary bends (I think about 3 were removed). I don't have a parts specific breakdown but here goes:
Parts were $669.99
Tips were about $47 a piece, 15+ feet of 3" stainless steel @ $13 - $18 per foot, Chromed muffler around $130 (no cat or resenator purched
)Labor was $480
Total was $1179.99
But it was worth every penny.

They got them thru trhe same vendor that provided the rest of the parts. I believe it is 3" inlets and 2.25" outlets, but I am not positive. It is whatever came with the muffler.
