Default Let the mods begin! and a question!

So my stepmom and i traded trucks. My 2006 Lariat supercab 2wd 44k miles, for her 2004 FX4 supercab 50k miles, and im pretty sure it has the luxury package. Before she had it my grandpa had it, so it hasnt been driven hard. My first purchase will be a 2.5" HBS leveling kit as soon as my tax refund check comes in, then 5% tint all around, a saleen grill, and black XD Monsters w/ Nitto Trail Grapplers. We are getting another toolbox for mine because we dont want to take off the one on her truck. And here is where the question comes in. Her truck (was mine) has Flowmaster super 44s, and she hates the noise so we are going to take both trucks to the muffler shop to get the exhaust switched out. How much do ya'll think it would be? Shouldnt have to buy any parts, and its basically the same truck so there should have to be any different bends in the pipes? What do ya'll think would be the cost for this switch? Will get some pics up soon. Its bone stock right now.

Easiest way to find out cost is just call the shop and ask. Every shop has different rates so it's going to be hard for us to tell you or give you an accurate answer.

Sounds sketchy, I would think a good shop would be able to give you a ball park quote

Also keep in mind the length of the bed, If they are the same length you have nothing to worry about.
I would think it wouldnt be very expensive, especially IF both trucks have the same bed length.
