Hey guys I just bought an HKS replica and a magna flow xpipe and I would like to know how much I should pay to get the H pipe replace with with the xpipe weld in and also how much it cost to get the full catback install. I got quote $120 for the catback install only from this guys but they don't do welding work.

Do you guys have any shops you could recommend down here in SFL?

 

Where in SFL are you located ?

 

in Miami.

 

Miami muffler is where I've always gone.

 

hey i own a shop in west palm beach i do all kinds of welding and i warranty my work ask rt10_x i did his front bumper cover he'll tell u what kind of work i do in my shop pm me if ur interested

 

thanks capone but thats a lil far for me and does $210 sound good for the xpipe wield and the whole catback installed? what you guys think?

 

Ya with welding $200 is going to be the ballpark. Needs to be installed then tacked, then uninstalled to be fully welded.

 

I've gone to Caribe Muffler on bird rd and Castellano's Muffler on 107th ave. Both did good work

 

You should go to Dannys (Greengobbling) he is knowledgeable in the VQ platform. He installed my hks exhaust last week and it is flawless. I will be going back in a few weeks to add the magnaflow xpipe

 

Plus 1000 Danny is the man when it comes to Gs & Zs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!

 

Thanks for the replies guys and yep I heard good things about Danny but he kinda lives far from me. I got it installed yesterday for $150 locally and dam this thing it's so loud even inside the cabin with the windows up . Does the sound gets quieter after a few hundred miles? Also does anyone know why is it so dam loud even inside the cabin ?

 

That's the drone. The Reps, although they look the same as an HKS, are much louder in cabin and produce much more drone.
Installing a resonated magnaflow x pipe should have helped some. Did you get a resonated or unresonated one?

 

I believe it's a resonated one the part number is 11386

 

thats the right one.

A lot of ppl end up getting rid of theirs after installation. There was a guy here in Tampa who installed his and came back to the shop 2 hours later and had it removed.

You could ask sell yours at the marketplace (you won't lose much money since they vary in price so much, so if you got a good deal you might even break even) and get another authentic exhaust. Invidia Gemini is just a little louder than stock, and goes for 700-800 shipped new.

 

I want something that sounds like stock but way louder , are my only options the nismo and fast intentions? I like this one cuz the car sound aggressive but the drone inside makes me hate it somewhat.
