Hey guys there a guy on this forum trying to sell his stock gt midpipes, h pipes, and gt mufflers for 225 plus shipping...so prob around 300..is this worth it or is it a big rip off..would i need anything else, how much would installation be?? im just really lost..any help would be good..thanks
I got my Pypes x pipe for 75 bucks and pypes mid pipes for 70. Soo for around 200 bucks it seems like a pretty good deal since thats everything you will need. I dont know how much its going to cost you with shipping but if its over 300 dollars then you might want to look around because pypes sells complete systems for that much. Ohh and you will also need the Hanger brackets for the drivers side that will be about another 45 bucks.

That doesn't sound bad but if your going to spend $300 bucks you can buy a brand new pypes setup or for $200 more you can get a complete FRPP dual exhaust setup.

if you can weld and fabricate i built a mid muffler system with baffled tailpipes myself for 250 and it sounds great. real deep and throaty with a mild V8 sound and moderately loud.
I got the mufflers off of ebay. Local shop did the rest for $250. "H" pipe, driver side mid pipe. Used his own brackets for the drivers side. Screw those $50 brackets.

My dual exhaust setup hurt my bank account in a bad way (about $1600 for the full JBA H-pipe kit --from which I will soon be selling the un-used JBA mufflers-- and Borla Stingers), but it can most certainly be done cheaper, and probably even cheaper than your $250 GT-parts setup.
If you can find a local place to bend the pipes for you (which I could not, so I had to buy the kit) you can probably get your deal even cheaper than you've listed on there, but all things considered, if you can't get someone local to bend your pipes, that isn't an insane price.
I'd look into it a bit and shop around, and if you want to use GT take-offs, just go with the lowest bidder. The GT muffs can be had for like $80 I've heard, so if you can get the pipes custom done for less than $150-160, roll with that. Get the look, the sound, and save the cash for other fun stuff, be it more modifications or lap-dances, whatever floats your boat.
