Default price of labor?

Hey guys I'm about to put on my pacesetter longtubes but for the rest of the exhaust i'm going 2.5" x-pipe then into 2 magnaflow 4x9's nd then dual/dual 4" tips. I already have the mufflers and the tips and the headers will already be on.

But what I was wondering is about how much do you think it will cost to have a speed shop do the exhaust from the headers back and over the axle?

$100 bucks are you kidding me???? lol thats a dumb estimate! hey OP i took my car down to a muffler shop and had 3" piping into my mufflers and then under the axle to my tips and it cost me $240 or so. over the axle true duals are a lot harder to do than under axle and you also lose some sound. ground clearance isn't an issue, i know because i had a 3" true dual set-up on my car, it's now in my garage sitting on the floor since i have to pull the engine and trans lol pretty good chance it wont be $100, call the speed shop and tell them what you want and ask for a price estimate

yeah, i know. i doubt its going to be that much different. others around my area have went this route and the price was around the same. who knows, i guess every shop can charge what they want.

If you can answer this question accurately, I will tell you exactly how much a speed shop will charge for your project:

but true duals over the axle is more piping and harder than a y pipe and stock catback
