Final questions for exhaust buy
Been reading tons of threads in this section for the past few weeks and I think I'm ready to pull the trigger. I was going to go Magnaflow cat-back, but it seems the prevailing wisdom is to just buy the muffler and tips and save yourself some cash.
I have a 2010 F-150 Screw, 4x4, 5.6 bed.
That said, I'm looking for a SI/DO, hopefully good sound and low drone in the cab (got a baby on the way ). By this thread it seems the Magnaflow 12198 would be the exhaust to purchase, and since my truck is 4x4, get 4" x 18" tips, Part #35117
Everything look kosher before I pull the trigger? Any other suggestions or reccomendations?
And forgive my ignorance, but when I take these parts to an installer (midas?), do I just tell them where I want the exit to be ( dual straight out the back, paired before or after the rear passenger tire) and they take care of the rest? What's a ballpark figure on the labor?

go for it. my pops just bought the same exact thing your lookin at, got a si/do magnaflow aftermarket exhuast for it. it has a nice tone to it, little drone inside. granted i very much prefer the deep growl and sheer noise level my straight pipes give me, in no way can i complain about a magnaflow muffler. flowmasters however im biases against, after having myself..

Well, I got a hold of the shop to make an appointment to get it installed. First piece of bad news is that I have to wait until the 27th. 2 questions:
1. I told him I bought the 12198 muffler. He stated I should have bought a 12158 instead. Thoughts? He said he could "make it work."
2. I told him I had the muffler and the 2 tips, and that I wanted them straight out the back Like this. (although now I am partial to the picture that was posted by Darren)
He quoted me $430 for stainless pipes and labor, or $300 for aluminum pipes and labor. Does that seem reasonable or high? Any opinions on stainless vs. aluminum?
