Called Meineke and they said $60 tops. Got there and they quoted me for $120. What did you guys pay? Is this a fair price? I appreciate all help

 

meineke are a bunch of a$$holes, they quoted me 90 bucks to change my y-pipe, 80 dollars to change my muffler and changed my straight pipe for 46 bucks...i went to this shop near by that installed my y-pipe for 55 dollars and getty can do mufflers and other installs very cheap, they quoted me 30 dollars to change my muffler (stock 4th gen to stock 5th gen..)

 

Thanks for the post. I went in there and they mad eit sound like it was the hardest install they have ever faced. Took a band of 4 guys to take a look at it to tell me it was a big job. I looked at them and laughed. IT IS A STRAIGHT UP UNBOLT AND BOLT PROCESS! 20 MINUTES TOP with air gun! I will do it myself this spring. Rather spend the $ on my system. Thank Bro and Happy New Year to you.

IIRC, my Y-pipe and Cat installation was about $100.

Yep, if you got the time and the tools do it yourself. It's not that hard.

 

It just bolts, jees.

 

Do It Yourself.
but it'll take u much longer than 20 minutes if ur bolts are rusty.
good luck

 

i wouldnt pay more then 60 bucks, and thats including the removal of the rusty bolts

 

Hmm. A 98 shouldn't be too rusty. If you have problems taking off the bolts, take it to a shop and pay em $20 to loosen/change the bolts and hand tighten them. THen go home and swap away.

 

Y Pipe is pretty easy to do. Looking at the Cat too, that looks straight forward as well. I did my Y Pipe in 1 hour.

here's a link to my write up

 

I get all of my exhaust work done at a local shop.

I have gotten my y pipe and catback exhaust installed for $80 total.

They have the tools to do this and labor should be no more than 30-45 minutes.

Hope this helps!

no problem bro, i just hope they aren't too rusted for u...
