Exhuast pricing question

I talked with a well known Muffler shop here where I live. I have a question about the pricing. I asked them if I provided the muffler how much would it cost to go to a 2.5" size from the cat back. They quoted me $184 non-mandrel bent. Is this a good pricing?

I paid $110 for 2.5" custom bent/welded up (including welding on a muffler I brought).

I don't mean to question a mod, but is this really AM material?

That sounds just about average, Midas did my friend's catbacks for around $200.

I also coated the new parts with 1200F ceramic coating to help prevent rust

Thanks, Im looking around for a place that does Mandrel bends in my area. I think Im going to go with the Dynomax super turbo muffler and either a 350z tip or one from an Altima SE-R.

Yeah, but these people are real reputable. Even the street tuning shops we have here say they send their people over there to get their exhausts done.
