After 8 days at the local shop, they finally called me with an estimate for the exhaust/tail pipe repair. Yes, you guessed it, they want to do a complete rebuild for $1500. They are stating the mufflers need to be replaced because they are "blown out". They insist it isn't safe to drive that way. I tried to ask to speak to the person who created the quote but they would only state, "The price is the price, we don't break it down".

Scott (local to me GMCer) said possibly I could look into a 1 muffler system or doing the work myself with Napa parts. I plan to call Ken Frey tomorrow to see what he has to say and I will also go pick the coach up tomorrow and try to get photos of the mufflers. Of course, I haven't figured out how to add photos here yet but I will.

Any thoughts on going to a 1 muffler system? Or DIY exhaust? My Dad taught me a lot, but I have minimal experience with exhaust systems so I just want to make sure it's safe since I'm driving my 8 and 4 year old daughters with me. We can't go very far at the moment because I will need new tires, so we're just trying to get it safe to be on the road and work out other funky kinks.

Again, thanks to all of you for sharing your knowledge!
