Re: Jim's 1969 Custom/20

Thanks Paul. $300 at say $50/hr is only 6 hours of work; I spent probably 10 times that amount of time over a period of 3 1/2 months to install mine. It's not reasonable to expect a shop to do work the way I do. Basically, exhaust systems are a RPITA.

Hi treveiger. I never took my truck to a shop so I can't say what a typical cost to install might be. Labor cost is usually close to the cost of parts so that's one way to guesstimate it. Taking it to several shops and getting estimates and checking out their shops and their work is a better way. Asking this question in the main board and searching archives is another. I recall seeing this discussion in old threads so the info is buried in here somewhere.
