I stopped into my local NAPA the other day for something and asked for a quote on a full exhaust for my '91 Regular Cab Pickup. The stock exhaust is rotted to hell-even the downpipe really needs replacing. From Bosal the exhaust comes in three pieces-downpipe, cat, and muffler/tailpipe, all flanged aluminized steel. The breakdown is as follows:

Downpipe - 105.00
Cat - 155.00
Muffler/tailpipe - 145.00
All gaskets - 10.00

Anybody do a full replacement with this stuff? $400 seems pretty cheap, but is it going to rot out on me in a year?

 

not sure if this will help you or not...BUT.... https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f105...ek-com-240667/

bolt-on, all direct fit.
might be able to do cheaper if you search around.

as far as durability....can't say, since I only put it on last summer. but for the price, I could afford to do it yearly.

 

Thanks for that link-looks like I could do the whole thing shipped to my door for less than $275! I love my local NAPA as the guys there are extremely knowledgeable, but the prices can be hit or miss. $400 was a lot less than I was expecting, but I had no idea that you could get the whole system so cheap. I've never used Parts Geek but will be checking them out on a lot more stuff. That $125 savings will get me BJ spacers!

 

cool.

yeh...I hate to spend any money, so when I need something, I search the crap out of it.

 

I prefer to keep my business local as well. My local NAPA will match online price quotes. Can't hurt to ask.
