how much did all of you get charged to get an aftermarket installed?

I purchased my JBA catback a couple months back. Before installing it myself in the garage, I called the local MIDAS shop for an estimate. MIDAS was going to charge me $150 for the install. I decided to save some money & installed it myself (pretty simple & straight forward). Afterwards I went to MIDAS to have them tack weld the joints for $23. Since you mentioned that you can weld, you can pretty much do everything yourself...Good luck...

yeah exaust is pretty straight forward.. since you are a welder I could see you doing it with ease....

also aldaman whats the pic in your sig mean ? Im guessing you mean hummers are for chicks ?

install charge was 0... i installed my banks exhaust and my aem BAAAARUTE force myself... easy as pie... btw, does anyone know where the drain plug is for the oil pan? :upsidedow

No,

It means, if he wants head, he'll call your girl. LOL

Hey KHA, if you want a good deal on a Flowmaster 40 series muffler let me know. I have one that was on my truck for 14 miles, let me know if you are intested, or any one else for that matter. Thanks!
Sweet my first post here, ha!

My sig....Not exactly...Warp09 was heading towards the right direction...It basically means that I prefer to drive a TITAN rather than the "over hyped" suv HUMMER....

I think the problem here is that you are a welder - so you may view it quite differently then say a computer programmer - a lot of people don't like working on their cars, or a lot of people don't know how to therefore they pay for it -

you are jaded to what it takes thats why you think it's a high expense to get your muffler put on, but then again, i'm sure you don't mind paying a roofer to fix your house what he charges for example...
