Alright i looked at my exhaust yesterday because i need to pass saftey and emissions this month. I found out that about 3 feet of tailpipe right after the muffler is cracked and the bottom of the muffler is almost rusted out. Everything up by the converter looks good, so i took it to mieneke for an estimate, they said about 360 for everything. what made it so expensive is that they wanted to charge 270 for a new muffler. Why so much??? is there anywhere i can get a muffler for cheaper and then just have them put it on? also, if i get a hi-performance muffler, will it pass emissions?? thanks guys for any help!
