I called a local guy with a really good reputation. Said it shouldn't be more than $100 to install my magnaflow. Good deal?

Sounds good. But i bet you can do it by yourself!

02BLACKTAWS6

I have the ability, but no place to do it. Boooo

Drive way?
There was a joke on here about someone installing headers on his car and using a manhole yes a manhole in the road because he didn't have a lift.

02BLACKTAWS6

LOL! My driveway is dirt. Don't feel like having the jackstands slip. Call me crazy, but I enjoy breathing and I would like to keep doing it for a while.

Put the car up on jack stands. Remove the rear wheels and put them under the car. That way if they slip out the wheels will catch the car.
But i understand where you are coming from...

But to your OP yess 100$ is reasonable!

02BLACKTAWS6

Actually, that's a good idea. If I hadn't made the appointment, I might have tried that. Oh well, maybe I will install the headers myself.

Now thats a bitch on jack stands. You will have to raise the car 22" at the K-member for my LT headers.

02BLACKTAWS6

Damn, nevermind.... Thanks for your help.

$100 isn't bad. If it is worth $100 to you, it doesn't matter what anyone else on here says.

im starting to think i should let people do my work... sometime its not worth laying on my back for hours when a pro has all the right tools and a lift...

ive done all my mods on my last 3 f/y body and it gets very annoying at times...

100 sounds reasonable.
Our cars have almost a decade of life in the Northeast under them. Mine was rusted pretty badly & that made the job more difficult. However, it was nothing that a bottle of PB Blaster or a torch can't loosen right up.
I did the install in my driveway with some jackstands. Ramps don't lift the car enough, IMO.

If it's not too late, and you have the ability to, then I suggest you do it yourself. However, the $100 quote is very reasonable.

my 2 cents.

Don't pay more than 60, seriously.... if you pay 100, its a rip off
About a year ago I paid 60 or so and still thought that it was a rip off

Most exhaust shops charge between 50 & 100 an hour.

02BLACKTAWS6

Yeah, it could be $60. What he said was that he couldn't say for sure without seeing the kit. (spoke on the phone) Depends on time to get the kit fitting right, etc. He just said that there's no way it would be more than $100.

02BLACKTAWS6

So that sounds about right. Thanks for the advice.

Got my GMMG put on about a month ago which included them putting on the ORY for my LT's and welding the tips on. Total was like $76.xx
