Hahahahahaha! You must look like easy prey, because they're trying to teabag you, man. A whole Pacesetter catback is under $200 shipped and you could put that on yourself at home. It only cost me $100 in labor to get a new catalytic converter, resonator, muffler, and chrome tip installed. And that was all custom bent and WELDED (not clamped like the cheap shops). A Dynaflow muffler to fit your car should only be about $40 online. Labor to put a custom bent extention on it and weld it in should cost no more than $40.
