i'm playing on getting a vortex cherry bomb installed. i was wondering how much should i expect the cost to be?

also, can anyone recommend a place in san diego to go to?

thanks in advance :)

anywhere from $50 to $150 on average...

and just ask the next person you see with an exhaust where they got it done, and ask their opinion. possibly if they would let you look at the welds and see how good of quality they did. or ask buddies or things like that

Wow. The guy that did mine only charged $25 and did it while I waited. I guess I got a deal.

Nice. I just walked right in without an appointment too. It only took like 30 minutes.

Make sure to keep your old muffler just in case.
 
oh yea, good point. if you do go that way make sure you find a shop who will work around you spare tire. mine made me take it out but with it being the only shop in town and not knowing any others i was pretty much up the creek and wanted the pipes pretty bad so.
 
thanks for all the replies! so far i got a $65 quote.

sloan, how much was it to convert the system to have dual exhaust? still uses 1 muffler right? (sorry, im a newbie :sadwave: )

is it hard to install the muffler yourself? it just requires some welding?
 
can anyone recommend a website sells mufflers? im still uncertain on which to buy. ive read some threads regarding muffler, but it just seems like everyone has there own preferences, so its hard to choose....

yea, but any good website?
 
My Dynomax just bit the bullet (after only 9 months...) so I decided that I'm going all out and opting for the TRD system instead of the complete OEM one. Only about $150 difference

Did it rust or something?

That really stinks. If you don't mind me asking how much is the TRD system?

Yeah, I spent like $70 on the muffler and another $90 for the install. Some bracketing was busted on the exhaust, which caused the pipes to flex and bend (and eventually break) over time, and since my car has seen a lot of NE winters, it was frequently susceptible to salt. The TRD system was quoted at a little over $700 for me

sounds about right...I have it on my truck... TRD single pipe cat back...Its worry free and not obnoxiously loud (like a shitty civic with 4 dudes in it screamin like an F-18 goin 20mph)but has a very nice tone to it...this and the supercharger together have seemed to be essentially set and forget...i don't really believe at this point the URD 7th injector is worth it...with just deckplate/ISR and Trueflow filter, thing is rippin.

I bought my Cherry Bomb Vortex from Summit Racing's eBay store. They also sell them on Jegs.

Regarding an install, everyone else has been right; anything in the $45-75 range. I got lucky and it was only $20 while I waited. Shouldn't take longer than 30 minutes.

I would just check out this exhaust. It is 2.5" and alot cheaper than the TRD. The TRD is a little bit pricey IMO.

it is , but i didn't have to pay for mine :) (was already on there...Infinity dealer i bought it from had no idea abt. all the mods done to it, still got it below blue book:D ) but then again, it is meant for the truck/it's engine. The chrome tip with the etching does not hold up too well tho :( i tried to get it shining but to no avail. I've had zero problems with it, dealership installed, and runs like a dream.
 
ebay is great for mufflers! i think you can find any brand on there. i got my spintech for $90 and installed for $40 something at Master Muffler.
by the way is that vortex cherrybomb one muffler your talking about or is it the actual cherry bomb red thingi with a muffler? i love the sound of the spintech and dont plan on changing anything but im curious. also , i was gonna do a catback on the runner and was gonna pay for it but the guy at the muffler store said the flex pipe which is the stock pipe was better than what he had. anyone know anything on this?
