cost for shop to install exhaust

My bolts on my catt are pretty solid due to rust and i wouldnt want to break anything when i want to install a y pipe. So how much would a shop charge to install the y pipe for me?

I paid way more...

That's because he installed a y-pipe and a hi/flow cat + custom b-pipe with resonator.

No way would a shop only charge $20 to install a Y-pipe.

$20 can only get your car on the lift.

60 bucks an hour if anything more than that....is just a rip off. I had my local shop install a full warpspeed perfomance exhaust....(Y-pipe, B-Pipe, Hi-Flo Cat, Muffler and Tip) For 120.

I paid 80 at midas. Its a fair price for 2 hours of labor. 11 years of rust requires air tools, period.

It cost me 50 bucks to install my budget y-pipe at this muffler place. Had the same problem of rusted cat bolts.

Yes, some shops will replace the bolts for you.
