I like how customizable the kits are, although I would still prefer to just go to a shop with my muffler of choice and have them fab me up something. Muffler back doesn't require much bending and its only two welds if you are going SI/DO

So do muffler shops charge by the weld? And mandrel bends would also cost more. If it would cost less than $230 for a shop to do it, I'll take it to the shop.

I guess I'll keep looking for a shop. I'll see what they say and if they are wanting too much I'll go with this kit :shrug:

I've never heard of anywhere charging by the weld, I've always just paid for supplies and an hourly shop rate. I wouldn't really worry about mandrel bends, you'll never notice a difference. If you take it somewhere that can its a bonus, but definitely nothing to worry about.
