Cost me $143 to put in the Aero Chamber and exhaust tips. (Of course after driving for about 5 minutes I thought it was all worth it, sounds incredible)... I thought the Hooker Aero Chamber was supposed to be a close fit?? It was a couple inches short on each side. The guys had to cut sleeves in to connect it up to the tailpipes, (and also had to make a couple of extensions for the tips because they were a little short)... At first it seemed a little outrageous but two experienced guys were working on this for a good hour and a half with me watching over them... They did an awesome job, very careful. Still... not even near the "They average 35-60 bucks." The tips also took a good bit of time to get perfect, so that probably was a good chunk of the total. Oh well...
