Question about exhaust
 
Ive been researching what cat back exhaust u want, nameless sounds pretty good, the works one too. But a local shop said they could build me one for $370 would this be a good option too?

Honestly no one knows unless you tell us which shop, and even then it depends on the person doing the work, the quality of the parts they use, the muffler type, etc.
$370 seems like a bargain but how well will the welds hold up? Do they have workmanship guarantee/warranty? Is it gonna produce the sounds you want?

Oh so Iam guessing its pretty much a gamble because there is no way of knowing what it will sound like untill i install it then? not sure of the shops name its in AZ my uncle just had them make headers for him for his FRS and said they could build an exhaust too. I guess ill have to get more details then.

Stainless steel or Titanium?

nameless isn't a cat back, and that price looks awfully low if indeed it's a cat back you're looking for. I would definitely question the workmanship...

That's a bit harsh for a stab in the dark, you never know they could be amazing at what they do and just charge very little. Probably more questionable is the quality of the materials TBH. What you really want to do is get them to do it but get them to agree that they have to get it to sound how you want or you can decline it. See what they say to that....

sorry 370 for axle back not catback, yeah I want something with a deep tone and No drone because i am driving 60+ miles a day.

I want to spend 3-500 so perrin and namless are a bit out of my price range but they do sound really good.

Id say go for it, but only do it if its a reputable exhaust shop. I plan to take this route myself for the catback portion, since I find it silly to pay 1100 for a cat back exhaust these days.

Just take a look at some exhaust you do like and get those style mufflers. Should get you pretty close to the sound you are looking for. Also, I would get mandrel instead of crush bends for both looks and better flow.

Since OP clarified to an axleback I'd now say that's reasonable.

But if that was the price for a cat back I agree with you on the material quality. But there's no way they'd charge that little without having some issues in workmanship too. To low ball it by that far probably means they're desperate for business which usually means bad workmanship.

Get the Nameless axleback. quality, amazing sound, awesome owners, made in usa, I can go on and on, but for real you will not regret it one bit.
