Is paying $1350 with labor a good price for the F-Sport Exhaust? Let me know what you guys think. Thank you.

 

Seems quite high to me... Sewell sells this for $1067 at the CL price... shipping is around $50.

Install time, with a couple wrenches and ramps in a parking lot, is 15 minutes... so I wouldn't pay a shop at all for it, but if I did I sure as heck wouldn't pay more than 30 minutes of labor ($30-50 bucks) given it'll actually take them 10 minutes, tops.

So you're overpaying by around 200 bucks from my estimate (even with paying for install)

 

Thank you for the quick response. I was thinking the same thing when I received the estimate. The parts from Sewell do they come with any warranty?

I was being charged 150 for labor for an hours work. Makes me laugh hearing it only takes about 15 minutes to do this process.

 

Took me around 25 min I think. Can't remember and I'm a total noob around car parts. Wrench, wd-40, some type of water based lube for the rubber thingys, ramp/jack and you're done.

 

All F-sport parts come with a 1 year warranty.

If you overpay to have a dealer install them then the warranty becomes either:
1 year
or
Remainder of your factory warranty

whichever is longer.


Note however, this is just an axle-back exhaust.... a few pipes with no moving parts. I can't imagine why you'd ever need any warranty on it at all unless it shows up damaged in shipping (and even that that's not really a warranty issue)

The only F-sport parts I could see any value at all to a 'longer' warranty on are the springs/shocks.

 

As i know sewell is the cheapest, labor from a shop is about $50

 

got mine for 950 plus tax at sewell the week after thanksgiving

 

too high.. if you dont have the right tools and garage try to ask a friend to help you. it only takes less than 20 minutes from start to finish! even IF a shop charges you for an hour labor, it shouldn't cost $150.

 

Only 15 minutes to do this? WOW, a shop I talked to said 2 hours of labor to install a dual exhaust would be $160. Then someone I know said he could do it for $100 but at least that was cheaper than the shop I talked to.

$50 for install seems much more fair then!

 

Two jack stands and a jack and your set. GL

 

Was that on black friday? Right now it's 1124 with shipping. Still a better price than what I was quoted. Just need to find a place to do the labor for cheap.

 

Did you put the exhaust on yourself? I see your from the 408 as well. Small world.

 

Best bet would to shop around for shops to install the exhaust. I didn't have the tools so I shopped around and found a local shop to install the exhaust for $75 and the wait time was only 25 minutes. Anthing over $150 would be too much in IMHO. Good luck.

 

No haha. SonicMS did. Id did on the civic...i assume its the same process. My old username acutally used to be "LexusIS408" lol.

 

Really, do it yourself. It's incredibly, incredibly easy. Back the car onto a pair of rhino ramps and you'll be done 15 minutes later. Maybe 20-30 if you've never done it before.





15 minutes for an axle-back like the F-sport... if you wanted a shop to do a FULL dual exhaust (like the Joe Z) that's a bit more work... though I'd still find 2 hours a bit high for a shop with a lift and air tools.
