How much would a shop charge to make a 2.5" catback exhaust? Also do they all just weld it on bc i want one with flanges so i can just bolt it on and off?

well around here i know they charge about $70-$100 including the muffler installation (not including the muffler itself). but depends on the area and shop.

mines just - was one continuous pipe from the cat to the muffler, and was a really nice se tup and could feel nice gains.

then i started getting at with the new muffler and test pipe and it kind of went to hell lol.

Muffler shop quoted me 90 bucks for my 3 inch (yes three inch, dont ask but no, i am not a ricer. Quite the contrary actually) press bent exhaust ... cost me about 150 bucks to do it because my O2 sensor was rusted shut so they had to fabricate some way to weld it off the stock piping and onto the nex exhaust. Magnifient work even tho the car is loud as hell (silencer here we come).... should not cost you more than 120 bucks for a 2.5 inch.

Around here you're looking in the neighborhood of $300 with a Magnaflow canister. That's with press-bent, stainless steel piping.
