I recently picked up a pair of GT Takeoff mufflers for a steal. I believe it's the appearence package, and I can't wait to get it installed.

I called a local exhaust shop, and they told me for the H pipe, and all the labor and stuff it'd be $500 for the install. Is this steep? I know the shop is reputable, everyone raves about them in my area.

$500 seems like a lot to me, but maybe it's not.. what do you guys think?

 

$500 is WAYYYY to steep.
They gonna TIG Stainless fill wire them babies on there
or just crap MIG steel welder rusts out at the connection in no time?

Them M/T muffs or AUTOMATIC tranny muffs?
There is a big ol difference between the two....

It basically bolts together so why you not doing job yo self?

Whats this muff shop got that you dont have besides a lift?

 

Well it's a V6, so I thought since I only have one muffler now they'd have to do something to make it into a dual.

I don't know how to do any of that lol

 

I had my local Midas shop put together a custom H-pipe for $250. Everything is welded and is as tight as a drum. I prefer this over the bolt-on parts. It's usually worth it to pay a bit more for quality work, but $500 does sound way too steep. Maybe you could look around.

Remember to take the Pypes bumper cut-out template with you. Some shops will do the cut and some will make you do it yourself.

 

Them that does not know must pay dearly.
Search and learn grasshopper.
Its all shown in pics and details
in previous posts.

It can all be done on the cheap in the driveway...

Dont let them 'reverse Y' you...

 

$500 is definitely too much. I'd even turn $250 down since the only material they're providing is the Y or X pipe and the driver's side midpipe plus a few clamps and hangers.
