I really don't want to pay 600.00-800.0 for a front tube assembly for factory if i don't have to. does any one have any suggestions about exhaust system for my 2003 max.

 

Front tube? Are you talking about the engine manifolds?

 

If you're talking about the manifolds or y-pipe, I have a 3-word suggestion:
1) hit
2) the
3) junkyards

If you are referring to the catalytic converters, there are plenty of online sites that have them for a pretty reasonable price. If you are in Cali though, you're screwed - stealership is your only option.

 

I'm guessing the pipe that comes off of the y pipe. This pipe has a cat in it. Their is another cat after.
