it shouldnt be pricey...they get like 75 an hour. to do any kind of "work" on existing piping shouldnt take any more than 1 hour.

Question
You don't even know what he wants done but you are guessing an hour's worth of work.

Well I guess I am spoiled then. Because my exhaust guy works for Midas and he is honest and does not overprice things. He can fab a complete exhaust in like 4 hours. Shouldnt take more than an hour or two to cut, weld and rework some piping.
