I had a local shop dual out my exhaust and noticed they did not mandrel bend my pipes after the muffler. I just assumed everyone did this. Should I be upset or just cut my losses and live and learn. I have dropped $500 on this and feel ripped off. Some of that is taxes and labor though.

 

wow thats alot for exhaust work. when i got mine done i think it was like 200 for everything. that was with a flowmaster, 2 tips, all the piping and hardware.

 

What did you get? saying $500 for exhaust is kinda broad, did that include installation of headers, new cats, just mufflers...etc...? $500 seems kinda steep though, unless they installed headers/cats. Oh, and many, rather most shops don't/can't mandrel bend pipes and won't use stainless steel unless you ask and sometimes helps to be present with installation, make sure you get what you want. Also what kind were you getting "Slow"Master, Magnaflow, etc...?
