Default how much $ to have a Y pipe modified?

OK, so I got the my ebay stainless LTs in and all I had to do was grind the block tab on the drivers side, after that they both slid right in. I read on here that the TSP ory would fit but it wont. On the drivers side it touches the floorboard and it also apears to be too long. Do any of you guys have any idea how much money im looking at to have a shop modify this Y pipe?

It depends how much their goin to have to cut and weld it to get it to fit properly, I would say anywhere between 1-5 hundred bux would be a fair estimate.

mine was a little under $150... plus they can tuck it up better than the stocker

I had one done for around 250$ several years back, but it had twin cut-outs installed on it so it is hard to say.

490 for me... but he replaced the pipe all the way to the muffler and put in a nice cutout.

If it just needs to be modified a bit, I'd say < $100. A shop only charged me $130 to install cats, and run my duals under the axle and out the back.
