Got mine installed at a local muffler job for $75, I regret it now though, just do it yourself, it's easy. I helped a friend do his, and now regret not doing mine on my own.

Isn't 90% of the fun in modding out your car doing the work yourself and learning more about cars?

yea, most wont do it because the OEM Ypipe has precats on it. but you can get a ghetto shop to do it for 30 bucks cash.

Also dont' forget that if your bolts are rusting there is a chance they will break off.

Especailly if it is a 95. It's older so they maye be more likely to break off.

Midas *if they do it* will charge $60, give or take. Usually, they see it as an hour job and will charge you their hourly rate. Smaller private places *more likely to do it* will charge less, between $35-55 if you shop around.

OK, so now you know about the install...

As for the noise, I have a budget Y-Pipe and a stock muffler and I
have to tell you -- it's still quiet -- but, there is JUST a little amount
of rumble...DAMN, it sounds good!!

The boyz at Meineke in Lynn hooked me up for 50.00 entire cat-back. I helped out though. A Y might be around 30.

I remember awhile back you were having a problem with your y pipe? Did you get that probloem resolved?

Yeah, since the pipe (even after sending it back) still didn't fit, I found a guy who was able to work with the pipe and my car and make it work with out dimpling/cutting or other performance robbiing techniques.

In retrospect, I paid mad money, had downtime on my car and wasted a lot of my time for 10 extra horses and a lot of noise?!

check your VIN#, and then use the SEARCH function to figure out stuff
on your VIN in particular.

Hope this helps!
