So i have a 5.3l LSX derived engine in my 1998 chevy s10 pickup truck. Basically it has a tune, fans, intake, and headers. I'm putting on the exhaust soon and was wondering if you guys could give me some advice.

I got quoted at this shop near me 860 for a mandral bend 3inch header back exhaust.

410 for pipes magnaflow muffler
200 for Y pipe
210 ish for Catalytic
and 25 each for 02 bungs

Now i've heard thats a little pricy and i should shop around. But my main question is should i do Single or True Dual exhaust. I'm thinking 3in single or 2.5 inch dual. But what size magnaflows and which hi-flow magnaflow cats should i use?

 

damn...i'm fixing to do my own mandrel bent exhaust from headers back for under $300...thats including the price of the headers

 

Where are you located?

 

near seattle, washington.... Kent, WA to be more exact though.

know of any shops?

 

Just had mine done from headers back with magnaflow x pipe and two super 44's for 450

 

wow. my exhaust shop charged me $40 to make a ypipe...$40 to build my catback using the corsa muffler i supplied. Thats a ridiculous price IMO

 

Got some pics?

 

860.00 does seem a lil pricey....I spent 300.00 on my true duals with h-pipe and 2 flowmaster knock offs on my 78...

 

Sure dont man. Truck is too low to climb under and take them and i didnt have a camera when he was fabbing it up. They're the best shop around, take their time, and do an excellent job! Wish I had some photos for ya.

 

I say go with single 3" exhaust. I wish i would have, but i did 2.5" true dual all they back in to a single dual in/out magnaflow that had a built in x-pipe
