Borla exhaust $300 difference
 
One shop is charging me $600 for the Borla Axle back exhaust where as another shop is charging me $360 for the same exhaust. Am I missing something here? I confirmed with both shops that they are the Borla exhaust.

There are borla stingers which are cirular in their design, then there are the GTA, I believe which are more oval in appearance. The stingers cost more than the GTA. Ask the two shops which model of boral they are advertising.

PS. I have the stingers and they rock.

600 for axle backs? your'e getting bent over...I have the FRPP (borla) GT's and I paid $375 shipped(on ebay) and installed them myself...4 bolts and aclamp is all there is to putting them on...I'd look around.

A shop shouldn't charge more than an hour labor to install.......(<$100). I have heard as cheap as $25, but that wouldn't be anywhere near where I live.......

But $600 is a serious ankle-grabber.......though if they are charging you full list for the stingers ($440 for FRPP? $500 for Borlabranded?

I recently put on the FRPP stingers on my car. (paid $400 shipped) When they were first delivered, I thought that taking them to a muffler shop to get them installed would be cheap. The Ford dealership told me that they charge $190 for the install. A few local muffler shops quoted me $120-$160 for the install. I told them it was only four bolts and a clamp and they said that it would take about two hours and that is why they were charging that much. I told them that is BS and left.

Just like grabberorange did, I installed them myself in about an hour. Wasn't too hard and it was definately not worth paying someone else to install them for me.

The ones that you need to get are the ones that are cylindrical, not oval. At least I read on these forums that the cylinder ones are the better sounding of the two.

I installed mine in about an hour, on ramps, with a creeper. Of course it has taken me four months more to try to align the tips in the openings.....

Thecylindircal ones are loud....I have heard that the other ones are less so....

Can some one refer me to a couple website that I might find the stingers? I've only been able to find one.

+1 to the FRPP over the Borlas. Same product with different stamping. You want the CYLINDERS as pictured below and install isn't that bad. Takes about an hour.
