111R, where are you taking yours to be installed? I haven't installed mine yet and in case my local muffler shop won't do it, I'd like an alternative place to go. I'm in the San Gabriel Valley but wouldn't hesitate to go elsewhere in order to get it done.

50 bucks
What works best is to print the pictures off the forum of the install. Take it to them. They can then see that it is pretty easy. Trying to explain it to them doesn't seem to work out well.

haha. thats the exact same thing i had to do! first quote i got was $300 from a mustang shop  then i went to the eastside of town and got them on for $50.
goonz, as i explained in this thread (somewhere) my stock exhaust was banging against the driver's side sfc. as shown in the pic, we simply cut some fat radiator hose and tied it down with some tie straps and then i later added screws. after that, the stock exhaust fit snugly against the hose. no more thunking sound. just tell the guy to do it anyways and when you get home you can easily fix it. if you can mod any part of your car yourself you can definitely do this.
i suggest everyone print out the pics that were posted of my sfcs, in color, and taking them with you when trying to get them installed. it will make things 100000% easier. trying to explain it to your average grease monkey doesnt seem to work too well. just mentioning "theyre like mustang sfcs" doesnt do it (by itself) because as i have recently seen, sfcs for other cars can be quite different in form and install. seeing the good color pics i posted will really help the installer and he'll probably even be thinking to himself, "hey, this looks like an easy $50"

I got a quote from a 'speed shop' for 150-240... and "possibly more if I need to drop the gas tank"
Got a quote from a local muffler shop I trust, they want 150!
I was shocked both times, I figured it would be max 70 bucks! I guess ill head over to the southside of Ypsilanti, hopefully it wont cost more than 50 bucks and I wont get robbed!
