I paid right around $450ish out the door once my exhaust was the way I wanted it. First time was $350, but I was not happy, so I took it back about a year later and sunk and extra $100 into it to get it where I wanted it.

When I took it in the first time, I went from Single to dual, with dual Magnaflow mufflers, and rolled tips out the back. Sounded good, but was REALLY mellow for my liking. So about a year later I had the stock resonator removed, and replaced it with a smaller Magnaflow resonator. And I changed the tips to an angled cut tip because I was not fond of the look of the rolled on my car, plus they scraped ALL the time on steep driveways and bumps. The angle tips almost never scrape, and IMO look much better. The Magnaflow resonator, in combo with the Magnaflow mufflers is perfect IMO. Its loud as hell at WOT, but pretty mellow at highway cruising speeds, which is what I wanted. Plus since I still have a resonator, along with mufflers, its not raspy at all (I know in the video it might sound a little raspy, but in person its not at all).

I've actually gotten several compliments on the sound of my Monte. It by no means sounds like a V8, but considering its a V6, I don't think I could have asked for a better sounding exhaust set up. It gargles when you let off the gas too, which I love.
