Headers, I'm guessing 3" pipes, Flowmasters (or clones), not exactly the recipe for quiet.


With lots of straight pipe and open space to work with, it wouldn't be hard to do on your own were you so inclined.

I have an appt Thursday morning with the local dealer (closest place within 90 miles to get it done) for an estimate. Hopefully it won't be too spendy. Mufflers are fairly cheap, but the $125/hr labor sucks.

Dealer as in car dealer, or muffler shop? I’ve not run across a car dealer that messes with mufflers or radiators. All the ones I come across sub the work out to a shop focused on that work.

(Very) small town. They do it all because there's nobody around to sub it out to.

Find a muffler specific shop and make the drive. It will be worth your time and money. If the local dealer does ityou will end up with a clamped together assortment of individual pieces. A real muffler shop has benders, all the hangers needed and guys that are used to welding those pipes into a single assembly on each side. If it has headers versus manifolds you will be better off having the system replaced from the engine back to the rear bumper.
