Default got a quote for lt and td install

a local shop around me gave me a quote of $400 to install my long tubes and to run my true dual setup. Does this seem like a decent price or is that too much?

Thats real cheap... they're gonna hate you after, though. LTs are not all that much fun. How much ground clearance are you going to have? The real trick is, having cats and true duals. Only shop I found that has done that, the guys carpet caught on fire not long after he left. lol. You found yourself a good price, though.

It is definitely a good deal. Just be weary of what they're doing. I had LTs installed for a pretty low price a couple years ago, they took a couple short cuts with the plugs and wires, along with (somewhat) removing the EGR that I had to finish up later on.

That is a good price for the LT's and true dual installation, Get that quote in writing, it might take him alot longer than he expected.
