exhaust swap, any good shops?

04 torch red · 07-30-2007, 06:03 PM

i was hoping to replace my exhaust with a magnaflow system but can't find a place that will do it for a reasonable price. is there any shops around the burlington, oakville, mississauga or even toronto area that would do this for less than $100? i can do it myself but do not feel comfortable jacking it up 2 feet in the air. any help would be appreciated.

$100 or $1000? While I can't say for sure, I would think that installing an exhaust system will run in the $300-$500 range if you already have the parts. You are looking at about 3 hours of labour.

iit's a catback exhaust, 4 bolts. one hour max, 2 if you are a chimp.

Thanks Lauri

Also, my install was axle back, not cat back (i.e. no X pipe)

i'm getting the x-pipe thrown in so i guess it will be a cat back. how much $ for labour should this add?

Not sure about that. Give Steve at WN a call and I'm sure he'll be able to tell you.

When I was researching, guys in the US were saying $130 at the local muffler shop - given the horror stories related to incorrect lifing I wanted mine to be lifted by some that had done it before! I figured a couple hundred, done by the dealer, was reasonable.

Good luck with getting yours installed!

I had my BB Bullets installed at Noyz Boyz in Scarboro. $80.

It was a straight bolt on, no welding needed and took about 20 mins of actual labour. it really did look easy, I watched the whole thing. they do good work there.

sweet!! i'll give them a call. so you trust them?

If you are looking for someplace in Mississauga there is Zoro's on Standfield Road just below Dundas.

ZORO DISCOUNT MUFFLER
2580 Stanfield Rd,
Mississauga, ON

(905) 897-6833

The boss man seems reasonable. I was asking him about installing a Corsa Sport with an 'X' pipe and he said they can do it for about $200. He also, specialized in Magnaflow.

i used to live on stanfeild and queensway. i've been there before, i can't believe i forgot about them.

Did you call Midas or Thruway?

I called about getting a catback put on before. Midas wanted about 1 hour of labour ($100~) and Thruway quoted me $130.

I don't have a Corvette, but I think it'd be about the same.
