I piad about $150 for a set of FlowTech ceramic coated long tubes on our favorite auction site. I then had my exhaust system built by my favorite exhaust shop. He charged me $340 for a 2 1/2" aluminized dual setup with h-pipe, all mandrel bent and the price included all labor, hangers, welded on exhaust tips and Dynomax Super Turbo mufflers. IMHO, it's better than anything you'll buy off a shelf because it is custom to my car and headers, so the fit is absolutely perfect ... and the price is about what you'd pay for a system off of the shelf.
