Total cost was $280 from Jegs. It is like $265 something with a $5 dollar oversize fee and $8 or so handling with free ground shipping. Ordered it Monday and got it today. Fast shipping!
Monarch did you have any problems with the tailpipes fitting into the muffler? When I mocked it up in the pic the one in the right hand side of the pic won't go in.

Ok I think I can handle that.
Did you weld yours or use the clamps? It didn't seem the like the clamps fit properly when I was messin with them.

And continue to keep them clean and waxed. Failure to do so will result in horrible ugly rust... My tips rusted in less than a year
Good news is the rest of the system after 4 years of use is in excellent shape. That muffler will not rust.

... good thing you're only there for a day though... cause that's about how long it takes for open headers to get annoying

Another person making a great decision with the aerochamber! ive had minefor a year or so now and Its been great. No problems rusting or anything like that. system looks just like yours did in the pics. I had the stock tips that come with it but i sold them and got the hooker straight tips. I used the clamps that come with them, and they really work well you just have to go at them witha wrench and a allen key to get them tight. If you look at em you will see what i mean. Good luck to ya and good choice!

OH MY ***!!! It sound SOOOO GOOD!!! When I picked up the car it wasn't that loud. I have kinda heavy foot so I think that helped it break in a little quicker cause at the end of the night it was louder and sounded so so good. I'll try and get pictures later. The tail pipes are to low but the shop had to compensate for the spare tire well being pushed in. But once the money gets saved up to fix that the tips will be back up where they need to be. Speaking of tips. I got them really tight but they still move.
