Default Corsa Install Cost?

I have planning on having Corsa install thier Touring Install w/ Pro-Tips in a week. They are charging $55 to install their X-Pipe and Exhaust..

The price is about $25 more than in the Forum Mall... but the shipping would make up the difference ...

Corsa's plant is only 15miles from my house ... and I have heard all of their products in person and I like the Touring...

I was wondering if $55 is a good deal on install? I just have to go to Corsa's plant... they will install both in an hour and I drive home with a new exhaust... Is $55 a good deal?

Yes, that's a fair price. Especially by the folks that make them.:)

Fair price??? 55 dollars is chump change. It costs $156.00 where I live just for the exhaust mufflers install. I imagine with the "x" pipe included, the shop(s) would wrangle another $50. They charge for lift time, misc tools, rags, etc.:cuss You guys have it good down in the lower '48'.

That's a great deal, especially because they're doing the X-pipe also.

I paid $90.00 at Miencke in California for a Corsa and Bassani X-pipe install. $55.00 at the factory, just say yes.

Go for it. Having done mine myself (w/o x-pipe), I would gladly pay $55 the next time.

I did mine myself also, but for $55, I would've gladly let Corsa do it and get an xpipe installed to boot. by the way, I've been trying to figure out where Mallet was (couldn't find Berea on the state map), and heard that it was near Corsa. So, if this is correct would Berea be in the Cleveland area?

That is a great deal. We had an offer for a while, you buy the system and we will install it for free. :)
You might be a little too far for that deal. ;)

Like everyone else says...for $55, I'd not even think twice about it...although, if you are willing to cut the over axle pipe at the input to the muffler, the cat back is about a 20 minute job. I'd imagine that doing the X at the same time (unwelded) would probably add about 10 minutes to it..:) Still, it's always nice to let someone else do it..

yep, definitely an excellent deal. most shops will charge 1-2 hours labor for a simple bolt on exhaust system. prices around here run $100-150.
