overpriced?

I payed 90 dollars to install a y pipe, hi flow cat, and o2 sensor. I came back to the same mechanic and asked how much is labor for a b pipe and an muffler. he said 125.. How is it that it cost more to install a b pipe and muffler than a y pipe hiflow cat and o2 sensor

My guess would be that since he would have to weld to put the b pipe in then that is why it is a little more expensive. You dont have do do any welding for the y and cat.

I would ask them though and see whats up...maybe he thought you wanted him to supply (bend) the b pipe.

Welding cost a little more but it should not cost $125. I paid $50 to have my y-pipe put on and $80 for cat and cat back. You should diffinitely go to another place.
