Reasonable price for welding o2 bung????

What is a reasonable price for welding in o2 sensor bung on my stainless steel downpipe. I am interested in welding only (I'll take everything apart and put it together). I am going to let somebody do it, and I don't want to pay crazy money for such a small thing.

Guy did mine for free.

EDIT: Well technically I paid for the rest of my custom exhaust, but the bung was an addon lol, so I indirectly paid for it I suppose. No more than 30 bucks.

We charge 50 for the stainless bung, prep, and TIG/materials on that end.

10 minute job if everything else is done first and all you are doing is welding, otherwise it takes a little bit.

I paid $20. They made a hole in the Downpipe and Tig Welded the SS Bung. Parts were out of the car.

Curious, can they weld on a bung if the downpipe is still installed on the car? Or do I need to take out the dp, and give them just that?

Depends on where you want the bung, but it's much easier to do a quality job if the welder has access to the downpipe off of the car. It only takes a few minutes to take it off and do it right...

Depends on the shop, and how they are going to weld it (tig, or mig). Also it is going to depend if you have your own bung or not.
