Default How much for exhaust install?

I've got a catback that needs to be installed before I officially get my Camaro back on the road and I'm curious what I should expect to pay to get it installed?

I'll start by saying it's full stainless steel so I think I'm going to keep the Y pipe clamped at both ends, unless someone can educate me otherwise. I need new low profile clamps for the Y pipe, a cutout welded in, and the catback was cut when removed so it will need a weld there too. The Y pipe is installed so all they would need to do is 3 welds, clamps, and maybe an exhaust hanger or two. What should I expect to pay for this? Also, I'm glad if your buddy gave you a deal, but I'm looking for some real world non hooked up prices... unless your near Chicago and feel like passing them along

Nice, thats about what I was expecting. I wasnt sure if it would be more because it's stainless and needs tig (I think).

i paid i think 150ish years ago to have my hooker catback put on. it was welded to the stock y-pipe and came with all of the need parts, so i wouldn't be surprised to pay $200 for what you need done

not that i'll ever pay anyone to do exhaust on my car again. unless i have to

With an average of $90 an hour shop labor that sounds about right.

You must live in a more pricey area then, I had mine installed for like $100 but i had other stuff done in addtion to the catback, and the same guy quoted me like 60 for an install a few years ago on my old T/A. Maybe hes just a nice guy
