Default true dual prices

Ya I went to a couple of places today to see how much I would have to pay for labor to get my true duels hooked up, they told me 850, that's with installing, LT headers, 2 hi flow cats, 2.5" pipes to a X-pipe then to 2 bullet performance mufflers then dumped after the axle, I was wondering if that's a good deal or a bad one, how much did ya'll pay for ya'll true duel setups? Let me know please, and I just want to know labor, not the price for parts, what did yall pay for the labor? Let me know, thx

im doing it myself... its easy when you buy the pre fabbed kits. I went with the magnaflow system and Kooks headers and y pipe. its not that hard if you have a garage to put it up on jack stands.

Yeah, I cant see why they cost so much now a days. I think I paid $250 or $300 back in 92 or so. but that was for the pipes, labor, bending, welding and mufflers. I'm thinking of buying the tsp system from SpeedInc and getting some chambered mufflers and adding the tubing for over the axles. I should be able to do that for just under $400 (I think).

$850 for a header install, a complete true dual system - with cats - all the way out the back on the car for $850? If I'm reading it right - that's a pretty freakin good deal IMO... Also depends on what the finished product looks like too..

I think that sounds very reasonable for everything you're having done.
