Local shop gave me an estimate of a more aggressive exhaust. Good deal?
Okay so a local Oilmasters told me that they have some flowmasters that would be good for a deeper more aggressive exhaust. They told me between 190-200 for the system. I asked about the exhaust tips and they said they would keep the stock tips but for $40 more per tip they can put some stainless steel tips on. Any thoughts?

Will they make it from stainless or just regular steel tubing? IIRC the TRD canister runs about$1100...

I am guessing at that price it is just an axle back type deal, and not a full cat-back?
Find out what type of metal they are using, if really cheap piping is used it rust pretty quick and be very heavy. If they are using quality materials and the shop is reputable, the price seems fair to me for what you get. |

I would also inquire if it's mandrel bent (doubtful) otherwise you're wasting pipe diameter.

I had a Magnaflow system on my previous car, made in a shop by a guy who was an excellent welder. $150 for the system plus $10 for a tip. It lasted the full 6 years I owned the car and was probably my favorite mod. I wasn't sure what to expect because it looked like kind of a shady place, but man was it one of the nicest sounding exhausts I've ever gotten.
FWIW, it was a full catback system, not an axelback. It was for a MS3 as well, and if anyone has seen their exhaust, you'd know what a pain in the ass it was to make that pipe. Still, great quality. The price seems fair (dual exhaust after all), have you seen any of their other work for comparison?

That seems like a fair price for what you are getting, but I don't know how good flowmasters will sound on the FA20
I think you'd be better off buying a Berk exhaust or one of the other kits from a vendor on here FWIW Make sure to ask what kind of material they will use Nick C.

It's a cross flow flowmaster. The tip is stainless steel and they also use aluminum with a rust preventative coating

Would a magnaflow be better suited for the FR-S

My biggest concern is that you'll get more of a tin-sounding exhaust note, than the deep note you're looking for.
They make good deletes, but I'm not a fan of their chambered axle-backs. It's all personal preference of course Nick C.
