Alright I really like the way the dynomouth setup sounds on the 3.8's and I was wondering since a dynomouth is basically just a cat back with a dynomax bullet in it couldn't I just have a local exhaust place just bend me up an exhaust similar to that of a loudmouth and install a bullet in there. It would cost me a lot less than buying a loudmouth and then installing the bullet. Lemme know what ya think.

I think if you have an exhaust shop bend you up an exhaust system they are going to break it off in you without even lubing up first! Last i heard they charge about $1 an inch + $75 per hour labor and i mean labor for mesuring, cutting and bending. Then comes the labor for installin and welding.

The last exhaust I had done ... went into the shop with the headers installed and two cats and two mufflers in boxes ... they bent, cut and welded everything together on a full 3" true dual, for $100.00 ... I guess I just got a good deal.\'97 Firebird 3.8 ... 1/4 mile = 12.50 (minutes)

Re: Making a dynomouth???
Im not calling you guys liers or nothin. But you are getting great deals. All across the nation shops charge $75 an hour. It takes about 5 hours to mock up, bend and weld an exaust. Thats about $375 plus about 8 feet of pipe cost at about $10 a foot thats another $80. Then there is $50 for the muffler and $15 a peice for the t pipe tips. That comes to about $535 and that not even ceramic coated pipes. Im not giveing anyone a hard time im just giving this guy a realistic price. Trust me if you could just drop your car off at the shop and have a catback mockedup and welded in for less than one costs pre made and installed by you in your driveway, everyone would do it and catback kits wouldnt exist.

Re: Making a dynomouth???
OK, summit sells a 3" i-pipe and 3" over axle pipe all mandrel bent for 100 bucks combined. they are labled for an LS1 but ofcourse it fits our cars. also, when looking, they are 2 different part numbers so if you find one, you'll have to find the other. I suggest just calling summit cause its a lot quicker. was for me anyways. i went that way and my exhaust ended up being alot cheaper than a catback. it can very expensive to have a shop make you a custom one but sometimes there always going to be a place who will do it cheap. also, most places dont do madrel bending and thats definatly a must.
stop this bickering weather its entended or not. thank you
