$650 for exhaust?

SonicStang · March 12th, 2007, 01:01 PM

So I went to this performance auto shop to see what it would cost me to get my dual exhaust. This is the second place i've been to. The first place offered me to do it for $850. Now this new place offered me $650 for an x pipe and flowmaster 40's...that price includes tax, install, shipping and product.

Now that makes me wonder, because all over the forums, everyone said they got their exhaust for 350 to 500.

Am I getting ripped off?

HMUSN · March 12th, 2007, 01:03 PM

well if the parts are new i would say it's not too bad of a price installed.

a good catback runs like 3-400 and an x pipe anywhere from 150-300

I would go for an h-pipe. It will sound better, and there is no difference in gains between the x or the h

the 350-500 range is probably from people that installed themselves...

tjames · March 12th, 2007, 01:55 PM

^ i agree, the $350-$500 is the people who installed it themselves. $650 is about right installed by a shop. i was quoted $650 for dual magnaflow and installation at a performance shop. but im going to save the extra 150 and install it myself, its much more fun and satisfying knowing you did it yourself.

i had mine done for 215 i bought the parts. so in all it would be around 400. saved me money getting the pipes from my work. 650 sounds like alot.

dual exhaust for 400 installed? what brand did you get?

edit* so you just bought the mufflers and the pipe was yours? then you had it all installed?

where did they get a deal like that? ill go down there right now for a price like that

It is the x-pipe that is getting expensive for you.

I have a custom job from a muffler shop with a custom h-pipe and it ran 375. If your getting all the parts they are ordering an x-pipe and a cat back which gets expensive.

Personal pref. I happend to think the X sounds better

Damn...you better find some buddies who know how to help, and show you what to do you and DIY...650 is more than I paid for LT's, H pipe, and a GT catback...all im missing is good mufflers

jabrennan · March 12th, 2007, 08:50 PM

I'm getting the same setup as greenfaleen has and i've been quoted in the same 325-375 range

AtlanticBlue99 · March 12th, 2007, 09:42 PM

950 will get you long tubes, off road H pipe, cat back, and all electrical. 650 for mid pipe and cat back new and installed (bolt on) is descent, but if it is fabbed shit on crush bends and aluminum, go elsewhere.

you want stainless steel mandrel bends at 2.5"

fordboy4rd · March 13th, 2007, 05:27 AM

I dont get it i priced Duel exaust for my 351Widsor... i got around 100 bucks.. thats 1 flowmaster with 2 pipes.. even if there was 2 sperate pipes it would only be 100 - 200.. i dont get it wht am i missing that makes it 500$?

locknest · March 13th, 2007, 09:37 AM

I got the same thing done to my mustang and it ran me about $650 so thats normal.

mustang17 · March 13th, 2007, 12:18 PM

i got the same setup with 2 chrome magnaflow tips for 450 and hpipe instead of xpipe
