Exhaust Install question
Hello,
I'm thinking of getting my Borla exhaust professionally installed. And, before anyone jumps on me, I know it's easy to do, I installed 4 of them on my 07. To be honest, I just don't feel like dealing with it and I no longer have access to a garage.
What do you all think would be fair. A local speedshop quoted me 1.5 hours for $165 which seems a bit exorbitant. Any thoughts? I wonder if regular service station would be a better option.
Thanks.

Are we talking axle-backs or cat-backs?
I have a lift so my timings to swap out my exhaust are close to a pro shop. It take me less than an hour to do the whole thing. The cat backs take a little longer but only by 15 minutes.
Your speedshop quote is pretty accurate timewise but I think $75-100 would be a more realistic price especially given that they won't be using any parts.
The system is pretty simple on the stangs so yea, try local exhaust shops until you get a reasonable price. It's not like they are going to foul up due to a complex and ornate system.
