Labor Cost to put on an exhaust in general

[jptshadow]

How much do they usually charge to be reasonable in TX (for Invidia)?
Should I keep my old exhaust?

Depends on what your getting installed generally for a bolt on catback id say about 1 hour labor as long as theres no frozen bolts ir broken studs etc. wich around here id rate $75-150

:plus1: on DIY... it can't be that bad... I just changed exhaust on MCS that was original 2002... bolts will come out eventually... patience is your best friend

did you use a torch? i find everytime i work with exhuast parts heating up the bolts is a must

 

[jptshadow]

That I did not. It's ok. I already had it done at the local shop. Thanks again, guys.

I had a past experience where the dealership will not do the job when told I am replacing it with aftermarket. Legacy Infiniti in Lynbrook, NY.

My dealership back in WI didn't have any problems like that. They even used my own aftermarket parts(generator, alternator etc) with no questions asked. I guess it depends on the dealership owner.

^I guess your dealership is not a crook. That's very rare - LOL

Had the Invidia set up. LOVE the sound, but only one down side I notice is that it drones at 2.1k rpm cruising speed. Wife might not like it in the long run, but we will see.

I had my entire Kakumei exhaust installed at a local exhaust shop for $90.

I paid $100 to have my old exhaust removed and my invidia exhaust mounted.
