    From everything I've read on here a lot of guys love this muffler so figured I would give it a shot. Got it off Ebay for $98 with free shipping. I'm curious what should I expect to pay a shop to cut out my muffler and weld this thing in? I think I will keep the stock muffler just for down the road its basically brand new since I just hit 3k miles on the truck.

    Nice, I would like to do this also, Sub'd for pricing estimates, though may weld on with friend's welder. Difference between 2525 and 2525xl?

    xl has built in resonator. I don't want my truck super loud just going for an aggressive tone.

    Ah, I see, so the resonator will make it less raspy and just all around sound better? 2525 louder?

    $40-$50 is what I've paid in the past (several times, over a couple of trucks)
