Default cat back install?

What has everyone paid to have thier cat back installed? Just bought an SLP 2OTL and am searching for prices. So far a local shop has offered to do it for 75(thats the best offer). Just wish I had lift access and I might try it myself. Thanks.

I did mine on the garage floor with jack stands under the rear axle. Total cost 13.99 for a case of beer.

Yeah honestly, do it yourself and save the money for other mods. It is really simple and a lift is not necesary at all. Heck, if your car isn't lowered, you can almsot do it sitting on the ground - but not quite.

Well myself it is. Put it on this morning myself and damn does this sound sweet. Nice idleing rumble and after about 2000 RPM it totally screams. Definately worth the money spent. :-)
