I just got a used I-pipe, S-pipe, and all of the other piping that comes between the cat and the muffler off of a Z28. The person who took it off of their car cut it into 4 sections. These are going to have to be put back together (welded I assume).

Do you think the exhaust shop is going to charge me an arm and a leg or is this just trivial welding that will only take a few minutes?

I now have a dynomax muffler, the tips, and the pipes from the cat to the muffler. All I need the shop to provide are the two pipes from the muffler to the tips and the needed reducers to make the 2.75 pipe fit the 2.5 inch muffler.

How much is a fair price for the install? I'm just looking for a ballpark figure because I don't want to get ripped off.

Do shops usually weld or bolt on the pipes?

A local exhaust shop would probably charge in the 50/60$ range to weld up the exhaust... if its cut into 4 pieces I'm sure he'd charge a little more. United Muffler *one of the better rep shops in my area* would probably be in that price range.


BTW, I'm pretty sure they'll weld the pipes to mount your tips. A few years ago I had my stock exhaust removed and a new I-pipe/Y-pipe/dual chrome tips welded up in its place. All the pipes/tips/labor was 160$.
