Do it yourself!!!

You just have to be okay with lifting the rear of the car about 36" off the ground!

Other than that, I've seen people here paying anywhere from $25 to $50 to get one put on. It's really not that time consuming at all- the hardest part is getting it high enough (if you don't have access to a lift)

I paid $150 to have Corsa Tiger Sharks, X-pipe and the abs of aluminum installed. They were charging $100 to install exhaust only at the funfest in September.

I paid $125, but in retrospect a fair price is about $75. Get a forum member to help and it may only cost you a case of beer.

To install my B&B Route 66's and a Bassani X-pipe, a local muffler shop charged me a total of $80. Well worth it since I had no way to get the car up in the air high enough to take off the stock exhaust without cutting.

It should cost you about $8.99. $4.99 for the six pack and $4 for the smokes...
