going rate for OEM exhaust mod around LA?

1. how much to mod stock exhaust? how much difference between "2 pipe" and "4 pipe" modding?
2. any particular shop recommendations?

is it something just any decent exhaust/muffler shop can do?
appreciate any input you guys can give me. thank you

2 pipe is louder than stock but still fairly quiet in car (sounds sporty outside car)
4 pipe is basically muffler delete w/ the mufflers still there

prices vary from shop to shop 250-400 is what i've seen?
you can usually find a used set fairly often.
i think theres a 2 pipe for sale in here or in the private seller exhaust section

edit: if i can turn back time, i wouldve just probably went 4 pipe or just cut my mufflers but lessons are learn 1 way or another.
now i'm on eissenman race & looking to go louder >__>

i don't want to go too loud
so i was mainly looking for a used Dinan or MPE exhaust
but i may just go the OEM mod route

Charges me 200 for those 4 pipes

I work for a shop and my fab guy was busy.
So my buddy found this place , knocked his exhaust mod out quick, and I saw their welds and I was impressed

Nothing but good things to say about them, he knows what he's doing , even matched the square tubing of the x-pipe

Give them a call first , cuz they have guys lining up starting at 7am

Looks real nice, I have been looking for a local shop for this as well. Any videos of the sound from his work? Looks real nice.
