Default how much to put on true duals?>

pretty soon im bring my car in to get true duals put on. i called one shop and he told me it would be $150 to take off my old exhaust and weld on the duals. is this a reasonable price or should i look around?

if that is just for the labor that is a little to much, save your self the money and have the car all preped for the exhaust shop, if you have all the tools though. i paid 530 for a custom set of duals with every thing done all the parts were included and everything

I'm in the same boat and I already have the parts. I think I'll go dumped if it's expensive as hell to go out the back

150 is more then worth it. I did a set last night from a sponsor that was not right. The slip fits werent opened up completely etc....took 3.5 hours to fix and hang correctly. 150 is reasonable. 50/hr is not uncommon.

Save the money and put them on yourself.
If you have basic tools you can do it, its not hard.
See my sig if you don't believe me.

If you don't have a decent jack and jackstands, buy those instead of labor for a shop. You WILL use them in the future.
