He's just offering up a service he can easily do to help motivate his local customers. A little sacrifice in time for a little more incentive is easy for him...a discount on shipping will cost him money.

I am going to say one more thing and then be done with it. He is probably doing this to attract people to his shop. Cheap advertising technique. I am positive he still has to pay his employee to do the install. Let's say his labor rate is 125.00 an hour, but he pays his tech 60 an hour for the job, So YOU may be saving money to get it installed, but he is eating 125.00 every install just to bring the customer to the shop. So actually it would be a better deal for Tony to ship the exhaust. I understand that you see that others are getting the exhuast cheaper, but it's not a direct cost to the exhaust. You need to look at it at an advertising stand point. Also I am just using the rates as a point, I have no idea what FI labor rates are. Hope that makes sense. Sometime I type fast.
