Avg installation price for exhaust system?
 

My mechanic quoted me between 3 and 400 to install a Motordyne e370 catback exhaust system. Is this the average price?

I paid $80 out the door. Was quoted $100 but since it was such an easy job he knocked $20 off the price.

That's too much. It's a plug and play install. Had mine done at dealership and it was $150 and I thought that was too much.

Even if they tried to milk it, It's still not an hour worth of work.

$100

:iagree:
My car was in the air for maybe 20 minutes, a lot of that time was adjusting the tips to get them lined up perfectly.

Ask your mechanic if that price includes sending his wife over to make you dinner and breakfast.

Most shops charge around $60-100 per hour labor. If you're getting anything above that keep walking.

$hit do it yourself it's an easy one to do.

$50 in the hood, $100 max at a real shop

This. Buy a socket set, a pair of ramps and a six pack. Spend the money you were going to drop on labor on more parts.

Heck, I paid less than that to have my FI catback AND test pipes installed (and the test pipes take significantly longer to install, due to the bolts).

exactly what happened with me too... quoted $100, paid $80 out the door.
unless you're getting a happy ending 300-400 is ridiculous

My mechanic charges $135 per exhaust system. But that's only because he doesn't want to fuck with them. He doesn't keep extra hardware around, so if a bolt breaks (like two of mine did the last time I was in there), it's a pain in the a$$ for him.

Sounds like he's prepared for the job!:rofl2:

I paid $75.00, took less then 30 minutes.
