$1000 LABOR to install High Flows!?!?
Went up to see my normal exhaust guy, who is also a Magnaflow Authorized Dealer. What I thought was a simple job to remove 4 cats, install 2 high flows after the first sensors, pipe up the gap after the second sensors (where the other 2 cats used to be) and call me to pick it up.
He quoted me $800 to $1000 labor, I already have the cats.
He also told me there was a 75% chance I'd throw a code.
Is this typical sticker shock, or is this guy a little too PROUD of his work?
Said he'd run me true duals for $450, reusing the maggie I already have. This seems more in line, your thoughts?

I brought in 2 14" round Maggies with 2 Hi-flow cats and an x-pipe. They charged me 200 for labor, piping, and 3.5" slant tips angled.
You're getting ripped off

wayyyy to high. I got all 4 cats cut out, 2 hiflows installed, plus 4 new O2 sensors for $300. I supplied all the parts so it was just labour. They had a hard time getting the front O2s out.And I got the old cats back. Wherever you take it insist on getting the old cats back. I got $200 for my 11 yr old cats from a scrap metal dealer.
