What's it for?
I just shared my exhaust experience with Rick Grant, where I concluded that
a local muffler shop could make me up a whole system for less than $100
including a flowmaster muffler (this was 5+ years back).
I still have it, and am only now beginning to hear a small rattle inside the
muffler at a particular rpm. I suppose I could have the can cut out and
changed. In fact I can do that at least 7 times before I get close to the
cost of a stock or stainless (cat-back) system.
If I bash or mangle my exhaust off-road, I won't mind too much. I certainly
won't mind as much as the guy with a $800 NRP system. Also, I can just
hack-saw it off at the kink or bash and proceed on my way, to have it
repaired/replaced at the next local muffler shop. (FWIW, the stock NAS 110
V8 system runs about $2100 from head to tip. $1200 for the Y-pipe with cats
and $800 for the pipe to the rear and the change for the exh. manifolds)
What an exhausting tale. I could have embellished it, but then it would have
been all hot-air... ;-)
Good luck!
