How much do u guys pay for installing the muffler?

NELSON.MLGB · 03-28-2012, 07:44 AM

Just wondering what will be a fair price to install. Thanks.

I had my AA exhaust installed by Active. They charged 1 hr of labor at , I think it was $102. I'm sure you can get it done cheaper, I wanted to have the manufacturer install it since they're close to my house.

How was the result? Did you spend a lot of time? I would like to do it by myself. But this is unlike the exterior parts, I don wanna fuck the hole car up...

It's just a muffler, take your time and you will be fine. I don't pay anyone to work on my car (aside from coding).

$0.00 as well took a friend and I about 30 min. His lift helped but still very easy.

Singletrack · 03-28-2012, 10:57 AM

1hr should be plenty with a lift.

If you have a friend, it is not hard at all. By yourself; be careful of the weight and awkwardness of the stock setup.

Beemw335 · 03-28-2012, 01:33 PM

50$ max for axleback.

Jamie430 · 03-28-2012, 01:49 PM

Nice post thanks for sharing.

If your doing a cat back then just save the money and Diy it, plenty of good threads on here if you need to reference anything.

tom @ eas · 03-28-2012, 02:05 PM

Usually 1hr labor for axleback, including tip adjustment.

signes · 03-28-2012, 05:01 PM

For an x-pipe install I was given estimates of $100 (indie shop, 1 hr) to "at least $500" (from the dealer...) Going to try it myself.

MR///M3 · 03-28-2012, 10:12 PM

for a full exhaust a local shop does it for $90

HighRevM · 03-28-2012, 10:35 PM

$0.0 A 12 pack and a friend...

i'd say this was probably the easiest thing i've done to my car, took about 15 minutes to take the stock pile of crap off the car and drag its heavy ass out. maybe another 20 to hang the new one. you need a crescent wrench, a socket wrench and a couple of drive-up ramps. maybe a big piece of cardboard to make it a little more comfortable to move around. man was this an easy job though.

matt328xi · 03-29-2012, 01:06 AM

since you r from canada, calgary. most shop will charge you at least 1.5hr labor for the installation. that's the world you r living

. States will be whole lot cheaper on these type of job.

if you have access to the lifter, it will be a lot easier.

YaganaWcott · 03-29-2012, 01:26 AM

His lift helped but still very easy.

matt328xi · 03-29-2012, 01:53 AM

oh, btw you have full exhaust or just muffler? the price may be different if you have more than the muffler itself.

DIY, it's easy. Every enthusiast should do at least some of their own work IMO and this is a good place to start.
