I went to Borelli Motor Sports in North San Jose. They did a good job.

Does $1100 sounds about right for the install?

I paid for 1hr labor for axle back only. But I don't see it taking longer than 4hrs for full exhaust. Who quoted $1100?

No disrespect to these guys, but don't listen to them. They all have C6's and the install is a straight swap. LS7 exhaust install on a C5 is a lot more labor intensive. Check the thread below to see all that's needed to install this exhaust on a C5:

That’s different I didn’t see he had C5.
yeah it takes lots of work to swap LS7 to C5. and not all exhaust shops know how to do it.

Just got off the phone with Richie at Abel. The new price for the install is around $900 to $1,000 because he forgot to factor in the air tube and dip stick modification work
