K I couldnt fit it all in there but if I bough the muffler & the hardware what do you think the average price is for them just to put together the pipes and weld them on?

The prices vary. My muffler shop I went to would probably charge $150 to put it on for me. It really varies shop to shop.

With me yea it would be pipes included. The only way to really find out is to start calling around and asking.

Back home the tail are about $4 and the exhaust is about $8. To weld would be extra. Prob about $20 for that. Make sure you are getting good pipes because if you weld, you will have to replace everything for a rusty pipe. But I guess you would know that. But there will not be any exhaust leaks!!

Well, once the guy charged me $40 to weld my stock I-pipe and put on a hanger for about 5 min job. I should just be an exhaust welder.
And later on he charged me $160 to put on my cat-back, for about 1 hr work.

I think I might of found a deal. Flomaster and pipes welded in for 170-200. I'm still waiting on the price though. I know some one who does inspections and he knows someone at a muffler shop that hooks him up with good deals. Now I just need to pick the right flow for a stock 305. What do you think?
