Default Exhaust install... Get this...
$60 install for the new Borla "stingers". My buddy had his installed yesterday at a place called Wolf Automotive. My understanding is that they are pretty reputable. Sixty bucks sounded pretty cheap, is that a really good deal? If so I'm thinking about doing the upgrade myself!

I've heard $50 and above...For a shop that does mufflers, it's a walk in the park.

That's sound reasonable ($60.00). I was quoted $150.00 here in Alaska for installation of a GHL. But I have a friend with a lift in his home garage and we are going to install it ourself next sping when I get my C-5 out of storage. He has done several instals at he said it is very quick and easy with the lift.

I paid $66 to have my Loudmouth installed. I would've did it myself but I needed some welding done so I just had them do it.

$ 60 is a reasonable price for the install.

It's about an hour of labor to remove and re-install the replacement system so $50-70 is about the going rate. :yesnod:

It is very simple! Do it yourself, you just need to get the rear end up alittle.If you have a 6 speed it is easier than an auto if you want to keep the original in one piece.
