Default H-pipe install

How much is a good price to get my H-pipe installed? (hell yeah, I got her today)

And yes, I know I could do it myself at home, but here's the problem. 1. It's dark when I get home and I don't feel like hunting down my lights to do it. and 2. Even if I did do it my self I would have to wait until Sunday (son has opening day baseball alllllll day saturday). I'm not patient enough to wait until then, so I am about to leave work and get em installed. So what price should I look for. The first place I called wanted $150 and I figured that was pretty damn high for a simple bolt on with no welding required?

my friend got his done for $40.. you shouldnt have to weld anything so $70 seems awfully high and $150 is rediculous... dont pay that much. just got find a mechanic and offer $50 cash. it's not very hard to put them on.

Quit being lazy and do it yourself. If you got the mac 3 piece then it is super easy. Hell come to OK and I'll do it for 50 bux!

By the time you run around trying to get someone to do it for a decent price, you could of already did it yourself..it will take maybe an hour and a half max. Just try to soak the bolts with pb blaster or something the night before to make your life easier

Soak the bolts and itll take you mabye an hour and a half if you are slow. its easy. its 8 bolts you have to disconnect to take the stock hpipe off, and put the new one on is just bolt em back up.

Yeah, I decided to go ahead and do it myself yesterday afternoon (snuck out of work at 2:00)....that **** was easy as hell, took just over an hour and a half.

And I've heard multiple people say that the mid-pipe will "wake up" the flows.......but damn, my exhaust was in hibernation before with the cats! Damn, I love the sound of my car now!!!

Exhaust clips to come soon (waiting on delivery of a new solution disk for my camera).
