Default Help with Borla exhaust system

I own a 2017 GSCE. I was on the phone with a performance shop today. I told him i wanted the Borla Atak NPP exhaust system and the AFE CAI. He told me the total price installed would be $4400. That seems high to me. Is that too much? What should be an acceptable price range?

You can buy the system new for around low 2,k & used for much less in here. put it on your self. All you have to do is pull the lower piece of the bumper off unbolt unplug & do the rev and you are done. Very easy job PLUS MORE THAN ONE GUY has it in here a DIY on how too do it..3 hrs MAX on doing it your self after looking at the DIY at the most. It really is a simple job to do man.. Robert

That's awfully high unless it includes a dyno tune and even then it is still a tad high.

It sounds like this shop is exactly in line with the current pricing.
Dealer installed for $2500 sounds a little off based on actual parts from https://store.borla.com/
Good luck.

+1. I suppose it all depends on if one wants to do the work or would prefer to have someone else do it.

Then add another $500 for the AFE intake... parts are $3400 +\- msrp plus labor

On eBay new parts....axle back, x pipe and intake are ~$2100 +/-

Put Borla 11903 ATAK on my 2019 GS, ordered from Amazon, 12 mos. no interest, 1600 bucks.
Installed myself.
4400 is outrageous.
