I would suggest getting a hard cost, not hours.

well they told me it was 60 per hour. Meineke was 75 per hour

its wierd though they managed to add on like 15 extra bux because they said the cats didn't come with a "stud" or something. I just paid them and told them they lost a header install job.

Dead on. When I got my OEM cats replaced with FI HFC at their shop, it took about 1 hour 10 mins. A good amount of the time was waiting for my stock cats to cool down from hard driving. Cant go wrong with FI products

That's a good reason all by itself to not go there...they are not honest at all unless you challenge them...good luck!

Your looking at 2.5 to 3 hours billing on the entire job including the exhaust install.Providing the exhaust comes off fairly easy and everything fits properly..And this is on the high side estimate of things..
