I recently purchased a catback exhaust (hasn't arrived yet) and I'm trying to find a place to install it in the DFW area. I've called 2 European specialist type places in Plano that are close me, and they both want $250. Supposedly the book time is 2 hours and both have $125/hr labor charges. That just seems steep to me...
I then called a more generic muffler/exhaust place in Plano, and he said "about $160" which seems better, but still kind of high for something that should take like 30 mins to an hour on a lift (no cutting, welding, etc. involved).
Does anyone have any recommendations for where to take it? I'm willing to drive pretty much anywhere in the metroplex, but I just can't see this realistically taking more than an hour or so, so was hoping for more like $100-150 max.
I'm still trying to decided if I can do this myself. I've installed a catback before, but that was before I was in a small apartment garage, and on a vehicle with more ground clearance, and before I hurt my shoulder. Scooting around the ground on my back while holding up an exhaust isn't going to do my shoulder any good...
