Default how much for exhaust installation?

Just gotta exhaust system from ebay seeing mine is shot on my '93 del sol and I was wondering how much it would cost to get it installed at a place like cole muffler, because they usually try to shank you.

PS what do yall gotta say about this exhaust?

Is there some reason you can't do it yourself? It's really one of the easiest jobs you could do on a car. Mine took me about 40 min by myself, taking my sweet time. A socket set and some jack stands would be cheaper than taking it somewhere. What a shop would charge you depends on the area. Where I live I'd guess 100 bucks. They usually won't waste thier time unless they're going to charge that much around here. As for the system you bought. Looks like a good price. I don't know how it will sound. To me mandrel bent 304 is mandrel bent 304, I imagine it will last you a long time.

Darn, I wish I knew there was a mock Evo2. Installing an exhaust is probably in the top 5 list of easiest things to install on a car. It's seriously only four bolts. All you need is a socket wrench, cresent wrench and 1/2 an hour of spare time and you can do it.

Exactly. Takes the average Joe about 30-60 minutes to do yourself. And save yourself money. Usually shops will charge about $100-200 to install it.

Save your cash, install it yourself. not only will it come out cheaper, but you will have a better understanding of your car and your stats will go up:

Mechanical Skill +1
Car Knowledge +1
Cleanliness -2

If it's a bolt on system, just do it yourself. There's no welding or anything.
