i called today to get a rough estimate for a full stainless steel mandrel bent 2.5" header back exhaust. i already have a header installed on the car, have the muffler i want to use, & have a high flow cat. the estimate was $700 for parts & labor. i already spent around 350 on the header, muffler, & cat. i dont have anywhere near $700 ready right now & my stock exhaust is hanging on by a thread. i was not expecting to hear a price like that. what should i do??

Talk about rip off. Call, call, and call some more. My local shop does full dual exhaust for under $300 and will do single for under $150, and it's good quality work. The guy that does all the piping and welding has been doing it longer than I've been alive. Maybe you should just go on a road trip to Disney World and just stop by here on the way.
