I paid $95 at a friends shop after wasting 3hrs of my time attempting to get the bolts loose. I broke 3 of the manifold bolts but the 4th one I just couldn't get. Car with 20K miles ended up having a seized nut which stripped the entire bolt. Had to put another manifold bolt in. I consider myslef lucky that all I was charged was $95.

If I bring them the y-pipe & resonator they would do the install for $50.00 98 svt #3967/6535 BOD 10/13/97 itg air filter air inlet pipe south country strut tower brace A pillar gauge pod w/autometer Volts, Oil Pressure. and A/F Ratio Replaced resonator w/Dynomax Bullet

A local indep. exhaust shop charged me $20 to remove and replace the bolts on the cat flange. I then removed the new hardware to install the Borla. So if I go Y-Pipe, I'll probably have them do that again. It took longer to drive there than it did for them to do the work that morning. And I live about 10 blocks from there!
