Hi, I wanted to know, how much would it cost if I took my 86' ZX to a muffler shop, to buy 2.5'' exhaust piping from the cat down to the tip? is this a good idea or should I make the exhaust piping start from the headers, and buy a new cat to install with it.
The question is, on my NON TURBO ZX, How much is labor AND parts for taking off the stock exhaust and installing the new custom 2.5'' piping exhaust if I took it to a muffler shop saying that I brang my own exhaust tip as well with me and gave it to them? anyone gimme an estimate? please?
also how can I see if my cat is clogged or not? Because when I bought my car my friend told me old cars cats get clogged up, and need replacing. thanks in advance.
Not to be a smart ass man..........We are not an exhaust shop so we cant give you an estimate unfortunetly. You have to stop at your local exhaust shop and tell them what you have and what you want to do and then they will give you an estimate for labor and materials. Id suggest finding going to a few different shops to get an estimate- all may be different- FIND ONE THAT DOES MANDREL BENDS TOO!

Thank you, I will make sure I get mandrel bends, now I know you guys are "exhaust installers" or anything, but what is a brief estimate for a custom exhaust. I dont want anything from ceritified muffler because there XPENSIVE as hell. How do I know if my cat is clogged though??
Youd know your cat is clogged if your car seems muffled- power wise and loudness wise. your car will run really crappy.
How many miles are on the car? If there are alot and it has the stock cat then get a high flo cat. Im lucky enough to be in a state with no emissions check.........so hence- no cat (or exhaust-hehehe)

All shops are right around the same price as CM. I priced a catback from a local shop and found CM was actually about $50 cheaper , even including the shipping charges....
