Price can vary on the work but maybe $500'ish give or take of course what you want done, he is comprable though just ask and he will quote you...

Wasn't there something posted earlier in the year that it went up in flames, or am i just thinking of another thread with a different guy?

But if he's still around, Jim's the sh*t, always gave me some awesome deals on custom stuff

it caught fire on one part a little bit but didnt burn down.

Yeah I just got my work done about 2 weeks ago. He charged me about $520 with magnaflows, 3' downpipe, ubend delete, and new 3' pipe all the way to the mufflers.

 

[Wickedgtp]

did the $520 include the magnaflows or did you have to buy them seperate? whats the best sounding mufflers for GP's? should i get magnaflows or is there better sounding mufflers? i dont want it to sound like a rice burner, i want a powerful deep rumble. i havent heard what the magnaflows sound like either. well thanx alot for your help. hopefully sat. ill make it out to Jims shop and find out some prices

wow, you dont even know what you just opened up. Asking what the best sounding mufflers are for this car is like asking asking what is everyones favorite beer. Many answers, but personal experience is the best way, I personally dont like the magnaflows because they are a bit raspy, but others love them. Here is what I have learned from my experience, but these are only my personal opinion.

Magnaflow: Too raspy with a tingle noise.
Flowmaster: Deep, throaty, and pretty silent unless on the throttle.
SLP Loudmouth: Nice low rumble on idle, nice deep tone all throughout the rpms, but some say too loud.
Borla: Nice sound like the loudmouth system, but way too over prices IMHO.

Anyone else have input???

If you would like to hear my flowmasters and arent too far from me let me know, but i would try to hear them all first.

As far as performance goes, I am not sure what each system adds, but my flows seem to have dropped my torque quite substancially, but seem a bit better on top end high rpm range.

 

[Wickedgtp]

where do you live at? i would actually like to hear the flowmasters cuz i was thinking about those but again i havent heard them on a gp.

 

[Kyle]

zeezgtp had flowmaster and then later switched to magnaflows if that tells u anything.

 

[superchargedgp]

i switched magnaflows to slp loudmouth

 

[Kyle]

last time i heard u talk about ur exhaustmike u were complaining about the loudmouth being too loud for you, this was awhile back though.

 

[superchargedgp]

i said it was loud but never too loud for me if its too loud you're too old :lolsign:

 

[Kyle]

haha nice, hows the drone on the highway that the loudmouth anyway?

i dont like my magnas just doin like 75 or so on the highway its so hard to hear the other person in the car like that.

I love my Flo's, IMO, they only sound raspy when the car is still cold and you give it gas, which I don't like to do anyways. Other than that, I love them all the way through. It is a bit quiet after the engine warms up and the car is idling(sp) but when you give it gas, gives me goosebumps

EDIT: And Jim did all my exhaust work as well. I posted it here as soon as I got it done! My exhaust post
