Exhaust Shop Question...

Synchros shot? Weird noises while shifting? Not sure what needs to be replaced?

Exhaust Shop Question...

Post by six »

So, my car is a little old to say the least, so bolt-on exhaust systems for it are pretty much non-existent now. I was thinking of swapping out the exhaust since that is pretty much the only part of the car that is left to mod (the I and H of the IHE combo has been done already).

What I am wondering is, do any of you know around how much, ballpark-wise, would an exhaust shop charge to lop off the stock mufflers and weld/attach on new mufflers (that I will be providing)? Just a simple cut and weld, but a dual-muffler setup. Should I expect to be paying north of $100 for that? I have no experience with this since all of the previous exhaust mods have been bolt-on for me.

i don't have too much experience with this, but a midas (in new paltz, ny) once only charged me $20 to lop off my aftermarket tailpipe and weld on a new "stock-looking" tailpipe ending. that was close to 10 years ago and just at one shop, but maybe you'll get lucky.

Your only real option is to go get estimates from shops in the area. Its all a bit of a gamble. I paid $90 to have my muffler replaced with a custom twin tip. On the other hand, I had a custom center pipe quoted at $160 that I talked down to $105. I could get the part shipped for $105.

I paid just under a 100 when I was doing something similar on the truck, but that was like 8 years ago.
