Hey peeps what's up well just the other day i went to my dad's shop and they had a bunch of 3" pipes so an idea poped in my head because I bought an Apexi uni turbo muffler the 3" inlet 4.5" outlet one for .. $90 from a friend and the pipeing was on a five finger discount and so i took the pipes to muffler man and they bent all the pipes for around $90with tax.. and by the end of the day i now have my full turbo back for under $250 kinda nice and cheap and sounds badass so loud haven't gotten pulled over yet LOL :p
 
i went to 6 different shops in my area and the prices ranged from about 700 to 300 dollars. as you know i went for the 300 dollar shop.. that was with my magnaflow muffler..also the 3" high flow converter i bought from them $100.00. they did it from the back of the turbo.. to the muffler.. not bad and the quality of the work was great.. no krinkles in the bends at all..also is warrantied.. looked awsome.. i have sent many people their as well...
 
must be nice...my turboback was MAD FREAKIN MONEY...but i did get a custom 3 flex section on my custom 3" downpipe stainless...I got a great discount on that only paid 85 for the flex section and another 15 for my friend to bend the pipes...my exhaust section...a WHOLE NOTHER STORY...mad money...:(

Mandrel or press bent?
 
Well since I bought everything separately and I have welding tools, prices were kinda like this:

$42 - 3" Flex section
$54 - (6) 3" Steel Flanges
$8 - 2.5" Steel Flange
$100 - (5) 3" 90* elbow Mandrel bent
$10 - 10' 3" Exhaust pipe from a friends shop
$220 - HKS HiPower 3" muffler

Comes to around $434
Satisfaction and power gains... Priceless.

Though it took quite some work since im not expert on building exhaust systems, make in fit and doing the hangers give me a few headaches with fitment issues but after a few days I had it ready, but for a shop with experience it should be rather easy.
 
Megan DP=155
Magnaflow Muffler=101.00
3" pipe with test pipe- ?

Just waiting on my muffler to get here to take it to the local madrel bender and see what there gonna charge. I can't see it be mor ethan 150 or so for piping.

dejon tool's new exahust, 476+shipping, extreme power gains, inexpensive, and very high quality. how do i know? i own it
 
$1200 including Evo3 O2 Housing. My Exhaust is made by Pina Motorsports and from the O2 to exit is 3" Stainless Steel piping and stainless flanges all TIG welded very cleanly. The muffler used is by Magnaflow with modified tips for their sleeper style exhaust. There is one resonator in the system as well. Piping route is great, performance gain was huge over my old HKS Turbo exhaust and the look is unique and clean.

Here are some pictures of the exhaust...

So this is just a downpipe to muffler? No o2 housing? If so, it's not a true turboback.

Nice price though. :thumb:
 
Dejon here too. Best bang for the buck..................... Hell its probably better then most of those high dollar exhausts too. Only problem is it's not stainless. But well worth buying. Under 500 big ones shipped. And I got mine with an evo downpipe to fit my evo 02 housing.

ROFL that sucks but thats pretty funny..you came out just shy of 400 good job!!!! but im sure if the metal shaving would have cut something it would have put you over 400 LOL
 
dejon full turboback with 2nd bullet muffler cost 476 shipped to my door.

sounds great and performs even better.

you can see pics of it in my gallery.

ps. i love my dejon exhaust buddies on here. except i think i might have been one of the first to get it on. im glad you're all happy with it. and personally, i've heard a few turbo exhausts around here (a couple straight pipe 3" guys) and mine isn't as loud. but loud = power, and everyone loves power.
 
Can somebody please give me the link for the 3 inch inlet and dual 2.5 outlets madeby Magnaflow? Also can SS weld up to mild steel and aluminum?
 
Paid little over $94.00 for mine. That's with piping and bends and welding..of course I got it from work and did the welding myself.
