of all the threads ive seen on here, there hasnt been one on how much your exhaust cost (when taking your car to the exhaust shop)...please post how much your additional exhaust cost...wheather it be from the factory exhaust or from the headers from hawks..also not weather you got o2 bungs installed or not (being carb or injected).. thanks guys im really just looking for prices on exhaust from the headers to the cat, so that i can come up with a price form the exhaust shop ..thanks guys

 

30 bucks to put a test pipe in between my y-pipe and the catback that I got for free.

Headers and y-pipe cost me 300 bucks, no cat here.

 

$50 Manifolds
$90 Mandrel bends 2.5" and 3"
$150 LM1 catback (had already)
$15 misc hangars
$30 grinding wheels, cutoff wheels and chop disks
$30 for the hoodie I set on fire

Exhaust shop charged me $280 for a crush bent 2.25" Y-pipe about 5 years ago. Thats just the Y-pipe, no cat, no hangars, no intermediate etc. Never again. DIY from then on

 

My experience has been the best places are also the most reasonable on price. I got ripped on my first exhaust and paid somebody else $40 to fix it and wished I'd gone to the second ship to begin with. Buy the parts you think you'll need and call a shop to get it put together. Think $20-$60 /hour for their time and you'll be there most of the morning. A couple hundred dollars should get you where you need to be.

 

I got my flanges from a guy on here for fairly cheap, and I got '02 SS manifolds for like 40 bucks on ls1tech, I got 2.5" mandrel bends (lots) for only 60 bucks on ebay, plus I bought a ypipe merge on ebay for like 40 bucks. I have one magnaflow 2.5" cat already and I need one more, they were about 60 bucks a piece or so. That gets me to where I need a catback, which I will probably buy online.
