To those who paid to have your cat-back installed

For the people who paid to have your cat back installed (Silver-Bullit....Bassani....Borla...etc) What was the labor charge?? I've been quoted $140 for labor......seems steep to me. But then again, anybody have opinions. Yea I know everybody's got opinions, but I mean an opinion on the labor charge.

Depends on the customer and the part of the country you're in, usually. Anywhere from $75.00 to $100.00. The guy that has done my last 2 (Borla and Silver Bullet)has taken a liking to the L and put them both on for free. Of course, he butchered the flowmasters that he put on for me and I didn't lower the boom on him. I guess he really appreciated it.

Cool

My muffler guy always charged me $20 but i always gave him $40 because i thought his time was worth more than that.I have switched catbacks alot of times between my 2 lightnings and it only took him 30-45min each time so i would get another quote from a muffler shop.

You can get a cheaper quote if you don't use a national chain, also.

Thanks for the replys. My thinking was that $140 was a lot overboard. Iam willing to pay $70 to $100. For $140, I'll climb under mt truck myself
