I've gone to Mieneke as well and wanted just about the same price. I still feel it's a rip. I've been getting that a lot of B.S. from mechanics lately. I went to get inspections earlier this month and they pulled out this rap sheet of about $300 worth of parts and $200 estimate for labor and failed me for safety for low threads on tires. I mean I passed emissions so why would I still need a full tune up? All I need to do is change 2 tires and wheel fasteners. (Stated on the NYS safety rejection letter) So I pulled off the Rims from the G1 Integra (LS SE editions with dunlops all season sport :thumbup: ) and went back. Now after some arguing, they told me that my upper and lower radiator hoses are worn and needs replacing, they’ll do it for 110 and I said No, I did them about 10k miles ago for 30 bucks with my own two hands. So I just left and went somewhere else, explain the situation so they can’t B.S. me. So, I’m a bit un-easy when I get an estimate from mechanics b/c I know how much work they have to put into it. For the exhaust should take no more than 30mins tops (especially when their properly equipped), base pay is 75 per hour more or less. Doesn’t add up to me. It's a simple job, a catback that has matching factory mounts and everything. Only thing I'm worried about are leaks.

thanks,
Mike
