$250 to repair exhaust, does that seem right?
So I have an exhaust leak where the resonators split off. Today I finally got around to bringing it to a muffler shop called Classic Customer Exhaust in Holyoke Ma and he is going to charge me $250 to replace all the piping from the first cat back to the mufflers and remove the 2nd cat. Does that seem like a good price?
Also he said I dont need the 2nd cat and I wont have any issues with emissions or CEL...........is that correct?
Oh im in Mass and its a 97 SC300

as long as there isnt an oxygen sensor behind the 2nd cat you should be alright with the check engine light. i dont think you do though. 250 sounds kinda high, but if his work is quality i dont think its too bad. i got charged 80 bucks just to have some pipes welded together. so for material and labor i wouldnt think twice.

I never made it to Spartan because as I was pulling out of Classic Custom I got a call to pick up my nephew from school lol.
What size pipping? Because I got a 3" from headers back with a cat for 350.00 I brought my mufflers.
When i did a 3" pipe from behind the cat to the muffler is was $70. Why dont you just buy someones stock piping? Like mines..hehe so i can get a custom 3".
Ok so while I was changing my Diff oil I decided to take a few pictures so its a little more clear.
This is where the crack is
From this weld point (black line) down to the resonators is going to be replaced with a straight pipe which will delete the second cat.
I hope this helped explain what he wants to do.

I cant tell from the second picture, is there a flange on the part that connects to the first cat? Why does that look so much different than mine does? Also is there a bung for the 3rd o2 sensor?

I have a few other toys to speed around in, but there is just something about the SC that i like and it makes a nice DD.
I'm really debating on buying a welder and teaching myself how to weld. I would like to build my own exhaust, but thats just a thought
