best thing to do is find your stuff online for the good low price, get it shipped to your front door or installer, and then pay them to install it.
in a store you will always pay higher markup.
i just bought a bunch of stuff for stereo system and have most of it done, except need to build a box for my subs. Online everything cost me about $1,000. If I had bought all that crap in a store I'd be sittin around $2000 - $2500.
store markup is how these businesses compete with ebay and online stores. they have it available, and they know you want it right now, and you dont wanna wait for it to be shipped, so they can charge you more and get away from it.
im always happy to wait for something to arrive, because it saves me money in the long run, and anticipation makes it fun anyhow.
sorry to hear about your misfortune, but take it as a lesson learned and move on.
i still wished I had never gotten these blasted Flowmaster mufflers, and had just forked out the extra $30 on top of the flowmaster price, for the SLP LM II's. Not sure how that would have sounded with the factory h-pipe, but it woulda been better than this darned droning bass exhaust i have.
