900-1200 is a rip off if thats just for labor. Aprox. it should run you 300 green.

For installing the long tubes and installing the true dual with STAINLESS mandrels that is not actally to bad imo. If it just from the headers back and aluminized mandrells then i would run away.

I paid $1100 for mine. 3 inch mandrel bent from the lt's custom X-pipe into dynomax resonators over the axle into magnaflow blow through mufflers and it ends after the muffler at my bumper. thinking of selling it $800. only about a month old and around 400-500 miles on it. I am in cali so it's a little loud for the people and around here. let me know if your interested.

Yeah but they are 1. installing the headers and 2. using stainless There is a big difference between aluminized piping and stainless piping as far as price goes. So that is still a decent price imo
