I have a 98 gxe with 170k miles on my maxeene.

I went for a trip and came back to find out my sis had gone over something on the highway and the exhaust pipe from the bottom cracked.

MERLINS muffler and brake service charged me $600 for a whole new pipe from THE CAT BACK..... is that too high? average? i know its not low!

(Im in chicago JUST incase ppl know the mechanics around here)

 

That is UNreasonable.

 

I can get a full dual exhaust from the heads to tips for less than $250, you tell me

 

tell em to **** off. i got myself a greddy sp2 for less than $500. tell em to save their water pipes..

 

Sounds like he already paid the $600. Might have been a better question to ask before getting

 

i got sp2 when it first came out like a year ago for $480 shipped.







hey mike, ur max looks good man... i remember when u used to be "doggy" and had hella problems with ur max, keep up da good work man

 

u got stuffed

 

cost me $100 to have new b pipe and res. installed this summer and they mandel bent everything. I did reuse my muffler. but they even put a new tip on it!

 

Yeah man, get the greddy sp2 close to 500 shipped. Forget that price, don't even bother calling them or going there, save your gas.
Here is a link for you...

If you already paid, try to get a refund lol, because $600 is way too much.

 

You got ripped off - I think even Midas does it cheaper than that, but a better option would've been an indep exhaust shop (lots of smaller ones around Chicago)

Doubt you'll get a refund, but next time ask us local people first http://forums.maxima.org/forumdispla...aysprune=&f=24

 

...yea and the Greddy SP2 owns for only $530 shipped overnight.

 

you got robbed way tooo much for little junk pipes can get it form a friend custon done for around 300

 

sounds like you got @$$raped

 

Yep you got royally bent over and banged.

 

A car that's worth no more than $3,000 is not worth spending $600 for exhaust...that's if $600 was even reasonable to start with...

 

dude you got hosed!

 

obviously, like everyone else has said, you could get a better-flowing aftermarket exhaust for less than that. you could have probably gone to Joe's Garage and have him hook you up for maybe half that with stock-size piping. Oh well, live and learn. Don't even worry about it. It happens to everyone. (Speakin from personal experience... )

 

I think everybody here just scared him away...

 

damn thats crazy

 

Firestone gave me the same price... I was like: Yeah, not so much. Funk that man Im waitin on a check and then Im prob gonna get somethin from greddy. I dont wanna really spend that much but Id rather pay it on a greddy than some half @ss OEM replacement or the cheap pacesetter catback...
