So I ordered a new muffler and tail pipe for the XJ. It came in friday and just for giggles I went to midas to see what they would charge me to put it on. They quoted me $166ish just to put it on. Not including some of the other stuff I wanted done. $166 is more than I payed for the muffler and tail pipe, but ordering it I did get a better price than they could have given me.
Does that sound right? I laughed a little and then told him I was going to go some where else.
I had the exhaust done about 3 years ago, I think I payed about $150 ish to get a new muffler, a hole patched, and a new front hanger (that broke 2 weeks later). Since then I have a hole in the muffler from a rock, it whistles, and I only have one hanger doing its job. The rattling on the cross member is pretty annoying.
I have seen the other threads on what shops to go to, so I am not looking for that, just wondering if the price I was quoted was going to be what I am paying. If it is at least I am prepared to get bent over.
