Just wondering if anyone has a certain brand that worked better for them. Also not costing them an arm and a leg? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

 

I had to replace the complete system from manifold to tail pipe on my xj years back. I went to cdn tire and bot the pipes,muffler, was lucky enuff to have a friend that cud stainless steel weld so he repaired the catalytic converter. Maybe try this place first and do it yourself. I still have the complete pipes but then it might not fit ur's and yur a little ways away too.

 

my 2 cents: find a small local shop that needs the business. In this economy, the smaller guys cannot afford any bad press and will probably go out of their way to make you pretty happy.

Also, Canadian Tire is not typically known for their excellent automotive service. Maybe once upon a time, but today they are becoming just another WallMart. You might get lucky, but you might also get someone who is learning their way on your vehicle....less than ideal in my opinion....but still a good option for parts if you're doing the work yourself.
