A little over $400, definitely more that a hack muffler shop, but I'm happy and feel like I got what I paid for.

It was a little over $400, which is more than a hack job from a muffler shop, but I'm fine with the price and feel like I got what I paid for.

I do feel a little more torque, nothing drastic, most noticeable on the highway with stronger pulls through third and fourth and less need to downshift when passing in 5th.

Yep, Jesus Christ and three pipes... in all fairness, they dropped the system from secondary cats back to TIG weld everything in straight. One of my last cars was a year long project on a 911 so these prices seem astonishingly good to me...

yeah I understand why it was that much.... That section is extremely tight so having to pull the whole exhaust off to weld the top added alot of $$$.... Did you feel any difference with power?

A bit more torque for sure but nothing drastic.

In for sound clips! I'm not that far from St Louis, lol! Do you still have secondary cats? Would they be able to knock this out in 1 day if they had to?

I do still have secondary cats and I doubt they could / would do it in one day. Maybe if you explained your situation beforehand. They had mine for four days, but it's not my primary driver so I told them no hurry.

It wasn't bad. I actually seen the shop truck they built while I was at S.E.M.A last year.
