Custom Catback Pricing

Here is the deal, I called a local shop that is pretty big around here. They do good work from people I know and what I have seen. I called to see waht a catback would run me considering greddy etc is so expensive.

For all the hardware like hangers,piping, muffler etc it comes to around 195 with a resonator and 225 with one. What do you guys think about those prices?

Also what you think about the resonator? I mean how loud would it be without one on there? If I dont get one for now then want on later is that doable or is it you do or you dont type of thing?

that price seems really reasonable, but what kind of muffler would you be getting? Some generic, sorta thing? Or something more of quality? I would recommend a resonator if you don't want something that's really loud, but it can be done later, at a price.

The muffler I am not sure waht kind but I know from other people you can upgrade it to anything you want and just pay the difference. I kind of expected that though. I also had the same thought as the resonator because I dont want it to sound very loud or get that drone in my driving on the highway. Will a resonator cause any HP loss in the catback? I had seen posts on here ebfore that they would. I know catbacks are not a big power gain but just curious.

Thanks

225 bucks sounds pretty good, but i am guessing it will cost another 100 bucks to install it?
