Y-pipe install

Okay, if most of bolts are frozen on the Y and O2, how much do you think a shop should charge to install a WSP Y? i got a quote for $136 today (2 hrs) and that sounds a little high even if all the bolts and O2 are frozen. i do have a CA car (more O2s).

if i do install myself, what's the chance i'll break the O2s and the bolts? is it that fragile?

thx for the feedback!

Re: Y-pipe install

2 hours sounds a bit high. Try and bargain for 1.5 hrs

Thanks guys! sounds like this guy is charging way too much even if all the bolts are frozen. i'll check around...maybe midas will be cheaper.
