Yeah free, is great! Custom tune is friggin amazing!

I shopped around here and the cheapest place is $275 just to do a weld on exhuast and I'm bring them everything besides the pipe. So they just bend it up and weld it in. I know it all depends on what pipe and all that but $350 is sky high IMO

I wish I had a friend with a shop that would be the ultimate hook up!

For $300 look on craigslist for a small MILLER or LINCOLN 12v welder and weld it yourself. Anymore exhaust shops are getting out of hand with damn prices! You will love the long trail BFG. They lasted me 25K HARD HARD HARD! miles and had another 5K left.

Yeah I would love to do that but I have no idea how to weld, at ALL.

Yeah I have had my Rugged Trails for a while, they suck offroad/wet grass but they are decent tires.

MIG welding is not super hard at all man. I learned how to MIG weld when I was 5, Taught my little brother at 6. Grap a thick plate of steel and practice laying down a few beads here and there. Than do transistaions, angles, tubing and what not. Than you have the skills and a welder to do what you want. You can say I did that and also help a buddy out.

I just used them for street use pretty much. But drove the hell out of the tires as they were free too, LOL.

here in LA used parts are extremely expensive, its cheaper to buy new or rebuilt most of the time. Muffler shops on the other hand are all over the place so they keep their prices low to get customers.

Yeah I guess, it's just really intimidating :uhoh:

It is super easy man, take a crack out it. It would not be any money you would be loosing out on if you do not get the hang of it. Which you should no problem though. :cheers:
