How should I go about building custom catback?
I decided I want to have a custom magnaflow cat back with magnaflow mufflers and magnaflow resonator.
Mufflers http://m.summitracing.com/parts/mpe-...FShk7Aod208AQw
Resonator http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/d...rtnumber=10436
My stock piping is rusted and not worth using. If I bring the mufflers and resonator will a shop be able to fabricate a cat back for me? How much labor am I looking at?

If you don't care much for performance and don't want to loud then I would get the biggest resonator you can fit with the biggest muffler you can fit in the back. You could also get a hfc to help tone it down more if you get rid of your stock 3rd cat.

Need more information. If you want performance and loud then 3'' mid pipe to dual, 2.5'' with a magnaflow on each side.

I just came across this website that sells piping so all I would need is the mufflers and resonator and flange to bolt up to the j pipe. Does this seem like the best option or should I have a shop make me one?

instead of asking a bunch of people from all over the world why don't you call a couple local exhaust shops, tell them what you have and want done, and do some cost comparisons on mocking things up? i could tell you $1000, someone else could tell you $50 - but neither of us are the shop or individual doing the work so guessing a cost online is quite irrelevant

when i did my muffler replacement, the toughest part is the muffler placement/fitment. The way the oem placement is angled as well as the slanted opening makes for a challenging configurations. It looks like you'll need tips with those universal mufflers, fitting duals/quads is a bit tricky for reason stated above. I'd say that's where most of your labor cost will be do it right. The mid-pipe and y-pipe most shop can fab up and throw the resonator in the middle with moderate ease. Only an exhaust shop can give you an accurate pricing.
