Today I'm going to take my '13 sedan in to get a muffler delete estimate finally. I've done a lot of research on the forums for muffler deletes on the sedan and I've heard that when the shop uses aluminum piping to replace the muffler instead of stainless it creates a harsher tone, has anybody found any similar info about this??

I was also gonna have them weld some flanges on the new pipes so I can bolt the stock mufflers back on if I end up not liking it.

 

How they going to weld steel on aluminum LOL. Impossible

 

Well I didn't want them to weld the new piping on, I wanted it to be bolted on with flanges so I could take it off when I needed to.

Also every estimate I got yesterday was for $200 which definitely seems a little ridiculous.

 

Yeah that is way too high. I paid $240 from Y pipe back.

 

Yeah I'm just gonna have my uncle do it since he's a welder. Plus it seemed like the shops didn't really know what they were talking about.
