Default Cost of exhaust installation?

How much should it cost to install an aftermarket exhaust system? It's my first time doing this and don't want to be ripped off. Thanks

Going to depend on the type of vehicle, new or used (if you have seized/rusty bolts) etc. Most likely going to be an hourly rate.

If you're trying to install an aftermarket exhaust that has ****ty fitment (like many cheap brands do), that will also drive up the costs if the shop needs to make any changes for proper fitment.

Way too many factors. And obviously going to depend on the shop's hourly labor charge and their reputation.

Don't cheap out on it, take it to a place you can trust.

I have a 2017 Lexus 200t fsport and wanted to install invidia midpipe and axleback. I live in LA if that matters. What's the ballpark cost?

I think those are bolt on, any mechanic shop can do it, probably just 1-2 hours labor charge.

something like turbo back, downpipe etc would require a lot of work, some even require cut and welding, then the cost would be 1000+

I just had my RCF exhaust system replaced with the Apexi N1 Evolution Extreme full catback resonated system. Labor cost was $220. and took the mechanic 1.5hrs. I went to Lexus dealership to have it done.
