Avg installation price for exhaust system?

.c2 · 06-07-2015, 07:37 PM

The motordyne one is so much more annoying than other exhausts because of the stupid clamps instead of the typical flanges..

Paid a shop 90 bucks to install my Motordyne exhaust.

My FI 12" and HFC's come in in a few weeks. I called a shop to get a price for both to be installed. He quoted me $196. Maybe this isn't too bad for both? I usually do any car work myself. Just been to busy lately to do so.

Stock cats are a pita to remove (demon bolts) so 196 to install both is a freaking good deal!

I think I paid around 250 to have my test and catback installed together.

I paid $150 for test pipe install. Didn't pay anything for my exhaust install, did that myself.

Awesome. I've read about these demon bolts, one reason I wanted someone else to do it. Wasn't going for HFC's right away, but figured I may as well if I am getting the exhaust. Thanks!

I ended up installing it myself. Took two days and a combined 4 hrs. Two days because of demon bolts necessitating a run to Harbor Freight to pick up the breaker bar and a wide assortment of sockets and adapters. Got two massive headaches from the PB Blaster.

Motordyne instructions specify in-lb torque adjustments on the clamps and ft-lbs on everything else. Did not read the in-lb so overtightened a clamp and busted that as well, need a new one for $25.

But finally got it on and sounds great.

If I did it again I would look for a lift.

$80-$100

Jesus. I just got quoted $320 for my FI CBE. I guess exhaust installs have gone up 200% in about 6 years lol

Definitely going to try installing this in my own garage. I have all the basic tools, just need to find a buddy that is free.

I had an R-Tune CBE installed at the dealer for $266.44 in April 2020.

Places around here charge anywhere from $100-500 to install an exhaust. Anywhere in the $150-200 range seems reasonable depending on your location.
