Muffler Mod in Orange County(pics added)

If anyone wants this done in SoCal. My muffler shop that I've been going to for the last 7 years was able to do it in about 2.5 hours with two guys. Rate is $250 I was there the entire time. It is a lot of work and definitely worth the price. I couldn't be happier with this muffler mod. Only cut the outside pipes and replaced them with straight pipes. It's not loud at all with normal driving and sounds exactly the way I wanted. Muffler shop located by disneyland. Btw no drone at all. If anyone wants to hear it I'm more than happy to let you guys stop by before pulling the trigger and getting it done.

I didn't do the muffler delete. That would be too loud and obnoxious.

Hey op, where abouts do you stay? Really considering this mod but want to hear it first. 250 sounds great considering I've seen guys pay 500.

Even the guys from the muffler shop were surprised on how good it sounds. They thought It was going to be too loud. I was about to do the muffler delete but didn't want the drone.

Do you know the name of the shop? Did you get a price on the delete as well? Also are you on Catless dp's?

Fantasy Mufflers in Buena Park. Didn't get the delete price. I'm sure it'll be really cheap.(I would advise against the muffler delete) I am running BMS downpipes.
