Took my Camaro down to the local auto shop about a mile down the road.
They quoted me $650 for dual 2.5" exhaust from headers to the rear, no cats with a dual in dual out muffler. All mandrel bends with ball&flange connections so I can remove the exhaust if I ever need to service the transmission or gas tank.
What do you think about this price?

 

it will be cheaper if you buy the parts and do it yourself. i use s-extensions, universal x pipe into flowmaster mufflers

 

i understand this. However, I don't have a welder and I dont want to weld/work under my car with 1" of clearance.

I'm more interested in if this is a good price for a shop to do it.

 

my buddy got true duals from the headers back on his '84 chevy Scottsdale regular cab long bed for $250 at our local muffler shop.

 

There's a lot more room under an 84 pickup than there is under one of these cars. A pickup exhaust wouldn't require nearly as many bends and ground clearance is much less of an issue.

 

I would think a estimated $100.00 an hour for an experienced technician plus materials including the muffler would or could come to that .You are paying for his skill and knowledge.

If it could take him 5 hours to do it then charge you another $150.00 in materials including the muffler for a custom installation then that's about right.

Ask him what brand muffler it is and let us know.
That muffler is going to decide what the system is going to sound like.
Just letting him through any muffler he wants to is "not" the way to install any system.

It could be this one http://www.jegs.com/i/Flowmaster/389...rentProductId= if it is you will have the Flowmaster sound.
It’s there with every muffler they make to one degree or another and sets them apart from all others.

I have the 80 Series single 3in. in dual 3in. out Flowmaster American Thunder cat back and I love it.

 

i paid around $650 for my full mandrel dual exhaust over the axles, from headers to the exit. i supplied everything except the tubing and labor. https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/exha...over-axle.html
