Good deal or getting screwed?

Well I've decided to go true duals. I called around to get some prices and what I've come up with is; with the headers installed by myself. It'll cost between $800-900. Does that sound reasonable or am I getting screwed. That price does include borla mufflers. I don't have access to any welding materials or anything like that so I'm stuck with a shop.

but he's talking about TRUE duals. i mean i was quoted $500 for cat back (includes cat, stainless I-pipe and tailpipes, and flow 80) and they he told me that if i wanted true dual it would be alot more. so i'd $800 is good, i mean..it's double the pipes and double the work. but then again it also depends on how they will do the true duals.

I realize that...duals are more expensive. I was just giving him something to compare to. Exhaust work is not that difficult for someone with years of experience. It's more a matter of time. I was thinking 750 would be good for duals. So 800 is in the ball park.

Is this just dumping infront of the axle? If so, that is way to much, even with tails, it sounds like too much. Mine dumps in front of the axle and with an H-pipe and me bringing the mufflers, he only charged me $150 to run the pipe.

I'm looking to do something like this guy did in the photo. I wanna dump it behind the axle to maximize ground clearance.
