about $3500-$4000 for what u asked. i also put, high lift valve springs, retainers, roller rockers. other little things. pulls all the way to about 7100rpm. was worth it.

Even my guaranteed not to drone exhaust (KPM 2.5") drones, I don't believe anyone that says their exhaust doesn't drone.

I work at a place that sells these exhausts day in and day out. we do not recommend purchasing the 3" because it's just simply to loud at lower RPM's and I tend to agree with StoneX pretty much every exhaust system will "drone" .. I have a 2.5" xforce including extractors and the only time it drones is at 70k's in 4th gear. at Idle it's quite.. not much louder then standard (inside the car, outside the car it's a different story) it doesn't make a whole lot of noise until I get above 3K RPM and then it has a really nice note. and no shitty LS back off noise that they are so notorious for

If you plan on camming the car do not buy a 3" it will be way to loud and I guarantee you it will drone.

The twin 2 1/2" Manta with front mufflers and rear resonator doesn't drone.

If you put a louder exhaust system on a car it will always drone, that's what the loud does, let's more noise out than a stock muffler ( look up meaning of muffler ).....people who say they don't have drone are BS wankers or still have the standard muffler on
