hey. i now have my muffler and tips and am ready to have it put on. went around to some shops and they are at 3-400 price range. they would need to put new head pipe on, and bend tailpipes and weld everything. does 3-4 sound a bit high or what?
thanks

 

That's way too much. I paid $240 for a SIDO Magnaflow and mandrel bent pipe installed. 2 polished SS tips for $60. $300 total.

 

i paid over $2000 for mine, but that is including all 20 muffler, pipe, and header combinations... but really, 200-300 is about right

 

Its all going to depend on what part of the country your at.

 

I brought my Magnaflow SI/SO muffler and a Magnaflow stainless steel tip to a local muffler shop and they put it on (welded) and added a few hangers for $50 bucks.

 

i bought my flowmaster muffler and tips online them took it to a shop where they charged me 160 to weld all the pipes in, including a 3" headpipe from the Y-pipe.

try going to non-mainstream shops (ie. not midas or mienke) the mainstream shops charge a lot more.

 

too much look in 2004-present forum for post by captain morgan 8 called "STRAIGHT PIPES"-he paid $100 for his duals

 

I bought a catback system with a SIDO Flowmaster 40 series muffler and 3" Silverline tips. My mechanic charged me $150 for the system install.

 

i know not to go to meineke etc.
im goin up to a private type custom exhaust place thats been in businness for 20 years. they quoted me 320 for everything so i guess thats about average from what im hearing. im in NJ
ill get some pics up next week when its done

 

where did you go? I'm also in NJ and going tomorrow to PA to get mine installed.

 

monday i am going to fuccellos in trenton, that may not be the right spelling. theres not really any places nearby i know of that do custom exhaust work. where in pa u going?

 

I'm going to Mighty Muffler in West Chester, PA.

I paid $300 for a Flow 40 SI/DO aluminized kit with 3 1/2" chrome tips about 2 yrs ago at Meineke. No problems with it so far!

 

west chester is too far for me to drive just to have exhaust done lol

 

Payed $130 to have all my old stuff removed and the new stuff put on.
