I am looking to get some Magnapacks installed. The best price I can find for the whole cat-back system in $350, but I read in another thread that you can get just the mufflers for $40 a piece. Can the stock mufflers be cut out and the new magnapacks welded in? Would there be any advantages or disadvantages to this?
Full Cat-Back or just mufflers?

Just spend the money up front and do the job right the first time. Eventually you will buy the whole thing, so no need to buy the mufflers twice.

well here is reality. mufflers will cost you money. say if you get the mufflers for $80 a piece. so then it will cost you
$240 just to do mufflers and install.
rember you factor system is stainless and can be sold for some $$$$
I sold my old exhaust on ebay for $90 on ebay. I even cut cut mine because I am lazy and did not want to loosen my shocks. If you took the time to pull it in one piece you may get more. so if you take selling you factory exhaust into account it is really not that bad to buy a whole system.

Do people even read the posts any more. He said he could get them for $40 a piece. Secondly, how are you getting this install price of $80? Any muffler shop will be able to do the job in less than 1 hour, and they don't make $80 an hour.
advantages = cheap great sound
disadvantages = no cool 3.5 in tips but you can buy those seperately too, no bigger diameter mandrel bent pipes. Maybe 1-3 RWHP not gained.
It'll be cheap to weld in just the packs. I'd only do the entire CB if you plan to add a power adder someday, in that case the larger diameter mandrel bent pipes may com ein handy, but really only then.
Just weld in the packs
