Default exhaust quote

Was quoted $470 to have my Pacemaker 4499's & Ballistic Cat fitted, along with new 2.5" Redback cat-back exhaust (w/muffler & resonator).

Does this sound like a good price? I wouldn't know.....

Redback system would be $300 fitted, so an extra $170 to do the cat and extactors is a pretty good price; it works out to be about 2 hours labour, which would be about right (took me around 6 to do mine, but my welding skills are crap).

An excellent price, Dave. I paid much more than that to have a very similar system fitted 5 years ago.
