I called up (thanks schade!) MBRP in Huntsville tonight and got a quote for their full stainless cat-back system. It's 199 USD, so 250 CDN assuming a 25% exchange rate. Why they quote initially in USD is beyond me :rolleyes: Yes, the exchange rate is a tad off, but hey, what the heck. Also, it's a killer sale for them as they're clearing room in the stock area to make room for more diesel stuff.
Anyways, the rest of the convo was better. The whole system (sans clamps, obviously) is Stainless Steel, muffler included. They do this install quite often for the performance guys in the area (and here's my chance to pimp FocusCanada!) with Ford products, and he says the tone isn't that bad nor obnoxious. He quoted roughly 50-70 bucks for the install, which is fine again as I don't have a garage at home nor the inclination to do it myself. I also inquired as to whether this was specifically a Focus sedan kit, and he said yes. So, we're all good on that front.
For those of you with a MBRP exhaust or muffler, what are your impressions on the quality? Fit and finish? Overall longevity of the muffler so far?
If all goes well, a cat-back just entered my scope again. That and I got to see what my tax credit is for student loans interest alone today :D
Thanks
