should cost about $40.00 to have it cut out and a piece of pipe welded in. Keep the res if you don't like the sound have it welded back in.

Sure it's fair, if you like paying $40-70 to unscrew 1 or 2 of the most visible and easiest bolts on the car.

I hope your bulbs don't burn. It'll be in the shop for days.

I didnt want to do the taillights cause i dont havea socket wrench set and its too cold to do it myself. If it was summer, i would, but since hes doing everything, i might as well get it all done in the warm shop

There is nothing wrong with the prices. If you wanted somebody else to do it for you, think of the cost of a shop and somebodies time. If you were to pay them to sit in the drivers seat and pretend to play race car for 30 minutes (with engine noises of course) expect to pay 30-40 bux for that. It doesn't really matter what they are doing.

For the cost of all that you could buy some tools, however I don't blame you on the cold part. I wouldn't wanan do a plug change in the winter, it's a ***** to change them anyway (well sorta) and doing it in the cold would be even worse.

Best exhaust sound = stock + test pipes
