Just got my Custom Cat-Back installed

Heya fellow maxima brothers/sisters. Just went over to meinike and they put in my cat-back. They charged $325 for everything, the muffler, bpipe, hangers, gaskets, all that nonsense. I've been driving around alot today, it sounds very nice. I think it might have a bit of a drone but its all good.

Large Chains

You got *** raped for that install. Its juzt cuz you went to one of those massive chains.

Anyway, nice choice. I got a custom set up myself and only costed me a total of $260... But I went to a mom/pop muffler place.

Yeah... get some pictures.

nice but yea, i also think u paid a heavy amount for that catback with install. I paid 320 for my cat with install and thats a stainless steel catback with lifetime warranty and good name (OBX)...too bad fitting wasnt perfect...

WOW $325 thats a crazy amount to pay for just a catback,I'm glad I didnt go to a shop to get my Y pipe,test pipe(soon to be removed) and OBX cat installed I would have been charged an arm and a leg..I instead did it myself it took me about 4 hours(would have been done sooner but ran into a few problems,I had missing tools) and I saved lots of money,Its not hard to do it yourself,just some rust penetrating spary,the right tools and lots of muscle.

325 is not a lot of $$ compared to all the other full catback options you have..

obx is the cheapest at 280 or so.. most others are 380 to 520
