he can't be serious...

['01_1500]

i just went to get a quote on an exaust for the truck. cat back duals with glass packs. the guy said between $350 and $400! is he just screwin with me because i'm a kid or something or is this really the going rate? i know glass packs are cheap. the pipe it self can't be that much. what's the deal with that? he said a y pipe after the cat then the glass packs and tips... one more thing about the shop i went to is that i asked if they could throw some cut-outs on too and how much extra and the guy gave me a blank stare and said "what do you mean, cut-outs?" he was about 40 or so i would guess too.

edit: this probably should have gone in the exaust fourm huh...

[dez0909]

I paid $780 cnd. for my true duals with flow 40's

['01_1500]

so that's about $400USD right? they aren't giving me flow's either. i know that for a fact.

price will vary depending on local rates, gauge/type of tubing used,how its bent and the glasspacks used but thats about average for a normal shop. Look at the price of any decent cat-back exhaust system online, some sell upwards of 600+ and most are around $300.

perfect reason to buy a small mig welder and do it yourself :crazy:

['01_1500]

the welder is becoming an option... except i dont know how to weld and i dont think under my truck is a very good place to learn.

[Atomic]

i would just buy a cutout from summit and have them weld them in instead of them making one...matter o fact, thats what i did. they are only about $25 for one

['01_1500]

that was the plan. i asked, and i quote "can i have you guys weld a cut out in right after the cat?" see above post for the reaction.

[MustGoFaster]

find a different shop.
sometimes the little mom-pop type garages are really good. either that, or look around. I picked the shop that I used for my car when I saw a custom dirt racer having headers fabbed up there. Turned out be their weekend hobby. the guys there are great. they don't worry about anything. pretty much do anything I or others I have pointed to their shop have asked for.

[Jroc]

$780cdn is like 700 US our money isnt worth THAT much less lol
I can get true duals and flow 40s for $650 so I'd look around

[rigamortis]

that sucks, here in town I got quoted $240 for true duals with flow delta 40s

[dez0909]

Sorry I forgot to add 40 or 50 a tip so high 600 to low 700 and yea our dollar is at .90 now not .60 anymore.

[jordan.v]

that sucks, here in town I got quoted $240 for true duals with flow delta 40s

damn dude thats cheap around here its about 500$

and "'01_1500" id go with electric cutouts there awsome... thats wut im gonna get. u can go from stock to straight headers on the fly:burn: its great...

[91_bowtie]

I hope you guys are getting stainless if you pay $500. :eek:

['01_1500]

well i just got another quote. $279 for cat-back single in dual out glass packs. not a bad price i dont think. said for about $100 more i can go for true duals. he even fired up a truck that he did today for me to hear which was nice. about an '01 std cab long box. 5.3 just like mine.

electric cut outs? i cant pay $500 bucks for a cutout, i'm bitchin about $400 for the exaust :lol:

[jordan.v]

:lol: naha dude only like $300 for the cutouts

['01_1500]

my bad. i was checkin em out and i only saw the ones for 500 on summit of jegs or something like that. $300 with a cut out sound pretty good to you guys?

[jordan.v]

thats just for the cutouts heres a link

[GMC Sierra]

mine was 330 pipe from cat to muffler mine broke right behind cat, muffler, custom tial pipes and 3.5 tips on the ends. sounds like a good price to me

[jordan.v]

here ya go...

[NqSilverado]

Well i paid like 475ish for single in dual out 40 series 45 degreed behind each wheel with tips.

[oldred95]

288 for my true duals. I supplied the bullets and X pipe but that was it. For 288 I got about 30 feet of 2.5 inch aluminized pipe and my stainless tips.

[SLMDLT1]

I have never paid over 300 for a full install. My Impala with duals and flowmaster 40 series, removing the cats, pipes from the manifolds back, and STAINLESS 3" rolled 18" tips 45ed behind the wheels was 300 installed. My truck with a dual in/out flow 50 with stainless tips all the way out the back was right at 250 (bout 5 years ago). My dual bullets, pipes from the header collectors back, X pipe, dual camaro stainless rectangle tips, and labor was only 280.

[jordan.v]

yeah thats 5YRS ago...

[91_bowtie]

yeah thats 5YRS ago...

:word: the price of metal has gone up alot lately, but I still think alot of these prices are very high. My friend has an exhaust shop here, and he only charges 175 for a split dual sytem, and thats what 90% of the trucks get that go to him.

[TIMSPEED]

Man, those places are expensive! The place I go, never charges more than $150 for labor. ($50 per hour)
They fabbed up a complete exhaust for my vette for $150...
Literally took pieces of mandrel bent tubing and welded it all up.

[SLMDLT1]

yeah thats 5YRS ago...

My SS was only about 8 months ago, same price as 5 years ago.

[jordan.v]

well w/e i geuss it also depends on where u live and how many people want it... supply and demand... also who you kno... all i know is that down here my frend just got a single in dual out flow 40 for 400$ so....

[Maupin96]

on my 96 i had cats removed,new 3" pipe and 2 40 series flows with 3" turndowns for 225

['01_1500]

well i did it and i just got the truck back from the shop. $318.69 out the door. got a single in single out glass pack with a y pipe going to 3 1/2" 22" long slash cut chrome tips 45* out the corners. looks good and sounds soooo much meaner.

pics to come in the pics and video section soon.

[thekl0wn]

Like it was stated before, it all depends on locale, type of shop, and what you want. You would think that the large chains would be able to do enough quantity to keep their prices low, but around here that's not the case.

Yes, that price does sound high to me. I was quoted $150 for dual Bullets, X, and turndowns (cat-back). That was through a Ma-n'-Pa shop (literally), and at first sounded a bit high to me. I'm still debating whether or not to do it myself.

I'd still call around, and get prices from a few places though. It never hurts to check, and in this case the shop you're complaining about seems a little out of the loop, so I definately would. And, yes some people will screw with young people, just because they think anyone under 25 is using Mommy and Daddy's money.

['01_1500]

thanks for the help on that but its late to call around. i got it done this afternoon for 319 out the door. :read: see the pics coming soon in the pics fourm.

[bigolblackie]

so that's about $400USD right? they aren't giving me flow's either. i know that for a fact.

The US dollar is worth about 10c more per Can. dollar nowadays.

[bayou billy]

I paid $275 for a single in dual out 40 series with 45's behind each tire, and 18inch stainless tips.

[Blue92Stepside]

My friend payed 550 for true dual straight pipe with 4" tips out the corners on a 89 F-250 with a 302.
