Is this a good price

Howdy guys, i have 4 inch tips right now, and a broken hanger, the tips are not the stainless steel ones, so i stopped by the exhaust shop and he has some 3.5 inch stainless steel tips for 40 a piece, he gave me a total price of 106 plus tax this includes 2 stainless steel tips and 2 new hangers and labor. Is this a good price for everything?

Sounds quite fair, Usually a shop will want $30 just in labor to put on tips, so without the3 hangers that would be $110.

Barely. They wont be noticeable. If anything just lightly more hollow.

So it's more cosmetic than anything then... I was just curious if he noticed any difference or not.

Yeah just cosmetic, if he was comparing 3" to 4" maybe a little bit of a noticeable difference.

The 1/2" diameter difference is only gonna change cosmetically. I had 2.5" true duals on my truck with 4"x18" tip's and ran the same setup with 3"x18" tip's and that's when I noticed a sound change. The 3" tip's would have a deeper tone at idle compared to the 4" but the 3" would get raspier at higher rpm's than the 4". Sorry for the hi jack.
