Wow, where do you all live?

It took the guy at he muffler shop over an hour to install/weld my cutout. He had to removed the i-pipe, cuz he would not have been able to get his welder above the i-pipe between the floorboard.

They ended up only charging me for the hour, $50 plus tax.

wow...I went and got both cats cut off and two pipes put back in place. Cost me $100 because it's 'illegal'. I wouldn't be suprised if I could get it done for $15 tops.
