Hey Everyone,
I went by a local shop this morning to get a quote on x-pipe install and $550-600 was what I was quoted for 4 hours of work. It's too rich for this, I'd rather invest in a stainless exhaust if I'm going to invest that much.
I have had several cars with custom exhaust and have not had nearly this much quoted for the same work. Where I am in Atlanta exhaust customization work seems to be rarer and rarer, thus the high quote maybe?
For those of you who have had this done to your XKR do you mind sharing what you paid for the custom work you had done? I recall paying $140 for straight pipes custom made for my M5, a bargain compared to this recent quote.
Thanks

It would have perhaps helped in your original post had you eluded to the fact that you'd already purchased the X-pipe and it was install only and not supply/fit?
So yes IMO a rip off by 200-300 of your USD
Also add your country so it is immediately visible so we know your referring to to USD and not (for example) AUD

When I had an X-pipe installed and the resonator removed from my 5.0L XKR probably 8 years ago, i went to a local muffler shop a few blocks from my house, and he charged me $225.00 including his X-pipe. Inflation as it is now, this still could have been the price about a year ago but not in this economy.
