how much you paid to install borla / joe Z
Just wondering how much you guys paid to install the borla or joe z catback exhaust system? I was looking for a reputable shop near me in pasadena and one quoted me $400. Sounds a bit high to me for taking off the OEM and putting the borla on. Another member tell me to watch out for fitment issue, to make sure it's clamped down tight so the exhaust wont rattle against the faux tips. Thanks!!

Two friends did it for me in about an hour. Should cost you $100-$125 depending on labor rate. $400 is robbery.

^^Rickna is right. Should not cost you no more than $150 tops! $400 is damn crazy!

Tommy at music box as Joe Z recommended. He installed mine for around $150 and he is very familiar with our cars and the exhaust system. No issues at all.

Damn my local shop in garden grove charges $50. It's pretty straight forward and simple.

$40 at the Lexus dealership I go to. It helps to get to know the tech who works on your car. I always request the same one for every job.
