What is it that you're installing, a cat back? If so, it shouldn't take more than 3 hours tops so that's your labor cost. Same for mid-pipe. Headers though are a different story. Personally, I'd buy the $50 jack/jackstand set from Sears and do it yourself. It'll cost $50 (plus tools) which is going to be cheaper than labor.

well actually there are a few ways to mess up. like on a catback, the previos owner can lose the hangers after the flowmasters and make them hang too low. Or on midpipes you can strip the bolts of the manifold. but those are the only 2 things i can think of

i got an off road h-pipe and flowmaster mufflers installed for 140, but if you need headers installed its gonna be alot more cause its a pain puttin headers on cause of the tight space. more than likely they would have to lift the motor out and do it, but if no headers then it shouldn't be that much
