Default Got a price quote for exhaust.

So i went to Billups and got a quote for true duals with hi-flo cats and flowmasters. $740!!! Im not sure i want to spend that much on my exhaust. Do you guys think i should go w/o the new cats and just keep 2 of the 4 old ones??? Then run the duals. The cats alone were $240. It costs so much to keep the earth clean anymore. The guy is only going to charge me for 30 min. labor, so thats a plus. I tried to figure the price w/o gettin the cats and it came down to $480. I think that is the route i am going to take, But i want some of you guys' opinions.

Uhm.... that's quite ridiculous man. On my v6 I got true duals for $180 and that included the Flowmasters, all extras, labor. Just run it with the cats you have now, save up.

I told the guy that i could get Flows for $70 out of Jegs and he wants $224and he came back with a smartass reply of "Do you want me to charge for 30 min. or 3 hours of labor?". I decided to keep stock cats just take out 2 of them. But i havent decided whether i should just order the mufflers from Jegs and let them put them in or not. He gave me a price of $30 for labor. So if hes a a**hole and charges for 3 hours or however long it takes. Thats around $100-180 of labor. Kind of offsetting the difference in price.

I would go somewhere else. Any midas should be willing to run a set of true duals for cheap from the stock cats. or save yourself alot of headaches and maybe just get a full on replacement h-pipe for it and a used GT catback.

All i know is i wouldnt spend money on someone who threats to charge you more labor.

I can get everything i need from jegs for a total of $240. I'll prob. either go some where else or just put it in with some buddies some day. The only prob. that i can think of is when we cut the 2 back cats off, whether or not we will have to bend the pipe or not. O'well only time will tell.
