When I got my SLP LM2s I got quotes that ranged from 75 to 150 dollars. I finally installed it myself because it is not worth the install charge. Do it yourself it only takes about 1 1/2 hours. SLP rules!!!!

maybe $50. You can do it yourself though. It isn't difficult. Shouldn't take you longer than 1 hour.

I was quoted $60, which is 1 hour.

Doing just the catback took me just over an hour but that was with my 8 year old son helping. Without the help, it may have been a 45 minute job...

Yes. It's always nice to do the work yourself. You learn more about your car in case you have problems later and it is far more rewarding to know you did it yourself.

Plus, you have some knowledge to share with your brethren on this forum.

IT costs $40 here. That was for an SLP LM1. If you have a difff catback that doesnt go together as well, then it may be more expensive.
