My exhaust was 100$ custom made too, the guy even threw in an echo tip, and I supplied a muffler (Dynomax Super Turbo) That I got for free. You getting ripped off!

You could get a cat back system for less than that, and just put it on yourself.

If it is 2" Pressure/crush bent pipes, those are too small for the 3vze/3.0 V6. Stock pipes are 2 1/8" pressure bent so you would be going smaller restricting your exhaust. Get 2 1/4" pressure bent/crush bent pipes at a minimum or 2" mandrel bent which has about the same diameter at the bends as 2 1/4" pressure/crush bent pipes.

I got a cat back and a Dynomax Super Turbo for $150.00 if I agreed to have one of the shops stickers on my back window. All mandrel bent 2 1\4" piping. I think it was a good deal and the sticker is now long gone. (was along time ago).

Get a Jardine cat back kit. Its cheap, well built, easy to install, and makes a V6 sound decent. Call them direct and say you are on the yotatech forum and they will hook you up. Last I recall I paid 149.00 shipped. Dont mess with a muffler shop its not worth it, welds are the first thing to rust.

definitely better choice as far as the price, but let us kow what that pacesetter sounds like. i got new 2.5-inch pipe, flowmaster 40-series, and a nice tip for $225. not bad considering the muffler itself costs about $80!

Where did you get the pacesetter system from?

Where can I see this Jardine system? Everything I find online seems to be for crotch rockets...
