    Exhaust estimates???? What did you pay??

    I got my Vibrant muffler (single 2.5 in, dual 3 in out, black) and resonator today. Just wondering what a good price to have the rest fabbed up in 2.5? I have eBay headers and need an O2 bung installed. Im guessing $200-250??? Thanks

    i have SS headers on mine, and a e30 cat back so all the guy made up was from the headers to the cat back, i paid 180...i kinda feel i got raped though, it has a leak off the headers where he made his own adapter piece

      I had a UUC E36 M3 Muffler and a dual 2inch in and out cat as well as SS headers and he connected it all dual 2 inch pipes and custom hung it for $200.

        I went to a custom exhaust shop, mandrel bending solutions in MD. Cost me $500 in labor. In total, it was closer to $900, which included 2 mufflers that I bought and a new o2 sensor.

        Everything was custom all the way back, 2.5 inch aluminized steel, with a custom y-pipe that they made for it.

            Depends on where you are. Depends on the shop. Lots can happen. I paid 300 and provided my own parts. Where the center section is dual on the down pipes they built a Y-Pipe. Single 2.5" back. 2.5" Cat. 2.5" Muffler with 3.5" tips.

              Mine is ghetto. The headers sit very close together so you can't put a flange on mine. I'm just going to get it all redone. Cost me about 320$ when I first got it done.

                I want some sort of flanges at the headersthe rest can be one piece as far as I'm concerned.

                  The shop I go to did a custom y pipe to 2.5" single piping to a 2.5 in 2.5 out magnaflow muffler. They did everything including the muffler, piping, and labor for $285.

                      Just got mine done there. Dual 2.25 from ebay headers back. I supplied the center resonators and muffler. They also installed v band clamps after the resonators and I used their tips. Ran me $800.
