iwanprice12 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) Having received my Cobra Exhaust today , and Y pipe from Tarmac Sportz, I went to get a price about fitting it this week. I was going to do this myself, but having been under the car and seeing the state of the nuts & bolts connecting the Y pipe to the CATS (and a Stag do to attend over the weekend), I went to get a quote. A local garage have quoted me £100 to do this, reasonable or not? I asked about if the job took longer, would it change the price and he assured me it was "£100 all in". Reasonable? The garage is only about a mile away so is convenient to be able to drop it off on the way to work. Thanks, Iwan Edited June 10, 2015 by iwanprice12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexwitham Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 £100 all in is around 2 hours labour so it's not all that bad, you could probably do it yourself if you have the right tools but if a nut is seized on you might need to grind it off or use a bit of heat to get it off. If it was my car, I'd do it myself - but if you can't be arsed and have £100 kicked about then get it done at your local garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggalo Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) 70-100 Sounds about right. Just don't use ATS or Kwik Fit Edited June 15, 2015 by Juggalo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iwanprice12 Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the advice guys. Bit the bullet & paid the £100 for the Y pipe, mid section & back box. To be fair, it was a local tyre fitter and when they inspected the job, did actually point out to me the trouble they would have (nuts and bolts were totally rusted). Apparently it was a bit of a job to get the exhaust to fit neatly as well. Happy with the results & saved me a lot of swearing and gruntin!

CJRamze Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I paid £80 for replacement Cats and full exhaust and my undertray... My mechanic is a legend though! Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
