Default Yes another exhaust ?

I want to change exhaust on my jk I want to go with a magnaflow or dynomax the question I have is all the local shops are wanting around $200-225 plus price of tip. I can get the magnaflow 4wd.com brand for 397.00 shipped which would you do, also does the over the axle "crimp" on factory pipe effect flow I have a CAI and bullydog.

Is the ~$220 for the system or just the labor for the install?

Also, what do you mean by the axle crimp?

Definetely get the Magnaflow and install it yourself. Very straight forward and will not affect any other performance mods, aside from enhancing them.

*I'm not being a smart a$$*......unless you have a supercharger or some extreme head work I would doubt it. I have a Flowmaster under the drivers side and it dumps behind the axle with a little bit of squash from the pipe bender over the axle, and I still noticed a good improvement across the whole "power"-band after it was installed.
