Just wanted to know what the consensus is on where to get a Y-pipe installed. My concerns are that with my 95, rust will make it tough getting the bolts off. I also worry that someone less experienced (including me) may damage the O2 sensors. Also, if the pipe needs to be manipulated/bent slightly to fit, I want someone who knows what to do. Hopefully looking at $100 or less.

you can do it yourself, but plan on spending some time under your car. A shop will usually do it for a bit less than $100.....

4 hours? Did this included the waiting time where the car was just sitting in the lot? 'cause I was under the impression that it is a 1-2 hour swap for the pros.

4 hours is a lot.... With the right tools, it shouldn't take more than an hour or so

The guy told me that the cattman Y-pipe was way off and he had to do some bending. I looked it over and he said he also made alittle more room between the y-pipe and sway. 1 hour wait and estamite and 3 hours of labor.
