Custom axle back

The guys at fms near me offer a custom axel back for 500 installed, this seems too good to be true considering what companies charge for axel backs.
What are some questions I should be asking them to make sure it isn't just mufflers and worth me doing?

It will sound good with magnaflows, you just have to decide on what size of muffler whether you want quiet, medium, or loud. All of their line flows great

Car will end up being a rattle box and will sound like crap. You pay for what you get.

Why do you think that mufflers will make the car sound like crap?

If it is JUST mufflers, it shouldn't sounds like crap but it probably will rattle. I did read your original post wrong. I apologize for that and I thought you said 500 for entire exhaust system. If they are charging 500 bucks just for mufflers... Save the money and get a real axle back lol. Stainless Works / Borla / Corsa etc. They are well worth the money.

That seems a little high for an axle back.
It should sound ok, but you can probably Google something similar and find a sound clip

Been there, done that with another car, MagnaDrone can be annoying. I ended up installing a second set of in line Cherry Bomb stile mufflers in order to control the dronning.
