Has anyone seen the BB Bullet exhaust for less than $899 anywhere? Also whats should installation cost? Ive been quoted $160 by a vendor in my area. Thanks

They are an axelback only. 899 is a good price for a new one. Most people sell their used ones for 600-700.

As far as installation cost, it only takes about an hour to do. It is very simple and you reuse the stock clamps. I wouldn't pay more than 100 dollars for it. I got mine installed for 70. Fair price would be 80-100. As that is what most shops charge per hour for labor.

BTW, good choice on the bullets. I love mine!

Thanks for the info! I forgot to add that I like the 4.5" oval tips but ive seen several pics where the tips dont line up well. Is this a problem with an easy fix?

Love my bullets! Everyone will complement you on your setup!

$160 is WAY WAY too high for an exhaust install. I wish i didnt pay to have mine installed but go to any shop like meineke they will do it for around $70. I had to take it apart and basically reinstall it because the clamps where loose and the exhaust kept comming apart, so best bet, just drive the car in reverse on to some ramps from walmart and do it yourself. Will take about 20min tops!

Eh, it is hard to get them completely straight. But, you can sit there and adjust them until you get them how you like it.
