Did i just get takin on this?? Alright so i changed my exhaust tips today from the classic SLP one tip to a c6 look.
The thing is did i just get took on the price?
They were having a hell of a time on getting the old tips off and they took about an hour to get them off and then they had to move the back of the exhaust a little bit to match both sides.
The Price
17 bucks for adapters cause the slp pipe was huge compared to these
112 bucks for labor!!!
They took about 2, 2-1/2 hours!! but i understand that they ran into some problems but damn i thought it was like 50-75 to change tips!!
I know i paid but i thought they said 57 not 137!! guess i should get my hearing checked, should i go back and see how much they change for an hour of work? or just cut my losses and never go back?
Pics will be up tomorrow when i get my camera

ya im pretty sure it was by the hour's!! lol, judging by the price...I even hit up a few muffler shops and they all told me it would be 80ish to 90ish, so i said screw that and took it to this auto shop that does nice work. Told me it would be pretty cheap. Guess i should have paid the flat rate.
In saying that, i think they did a great job, the wields are hidden really well just can't believe the price!

I can't think of a problem they would have. Maybe they just suck. It's things like this that make me want to do everything myself.
I was screwed over on my true duals twice and couldn't do anything about it. I since bought a nice welder and have made my own a few times with great results. I did my SFC and mini tubs too. I've made money doing jobs and it feels great that nothing can hold me back now. BEST investment i've made.
