Default Average cost of cutout install??

I had one on my 96 Formula, but that was years ago. Been out of the F-Body scene for about 3 years now. Finally got a 98 T/A completely stock. I paid too much for a cutout install on my last car. So im curious to see what you guys/gals paid for your cutout install??



thanks,
jason

get a 3 inch cutout cause the stock exhaust is somethin like 2 3/4 inches. I got ripped on my cutout. probably cause they provided the cutout. 75$!!!!

yeah i got ripped as well, i paid damn near 60$ and i PROVIDED the cutout. 30-35$ is a good price for install.

On my formula i had B&B exhaust with a cutout, stock cats, stock headers and the damn thing sounded good. I miss that sound.
