okay, I have a '96 v6 and it cost me $80 for install plus changing the piping to 2.25 no mandrel. Thats b/c I had the hook ups. Usually its $120. Also, shouldn't your stock be 2.25? so shouldn't you be going to 2.5"?
Sound wise, I can't really say what it woulda sounded like if I didn't do it cuz I didn't op for that way and I think the v6 in mine also plays a role in how it sounds.
Power wise, iono, guess I feel a little diff since I got a poorman's cai past 3k, maybe its in my head.
