I have had several garages, and midas tell me that to have the resonator on my 98 se sport replaced with exaust pipe will cost me 60 to 70 dollars. I have read many posts stating that I should pay no more than 20-35 dollars...  did that figure not include labor? help me out guys, thanx.

cost me $20...(i checked with 4 other shops afterwards all 20 bucks)I suggest if you are going to lose the res to buy a higflow res to replace it..the rasp present when everyhting is cold can be very annoying. Some other people have been happy with putting a magnaflow in the res spot and having pipe run to the back. someone has ssuggested to me that i buy a magnaflow single in, dual out, put that in the res spot, run new 2.5 inch pipe all over and out the back.....i am still trying to figure out what i am going to do.
i know 2 things for sure...I AM GOING TO THE NATIONAL MEET AND BUYING RAFFLE TICKETS TO WIN COOL PRIZES!!!!
