Quad tips install?

ylincooper · 03-25-2010, 12:41 PM

Anyone know of a reliable /cheap place to get these installed in the orlando area? I was quoted over 200$ in labor by PSI and I think thats insane.

If u already have the exhaust, then 200+ is expensive, you can find something way better. If not stop by Caribe Muffler next time you in Miami area...lol.

Just to clarify. The OP had asked for a quote and we had responded that without seeing them, worst case scenario without even seeing the tips to be welded (if the tips required a butt weld) it would be 2-3 hours labor (which was also including the installation of a diffuser.). The reason for this is because we do things correctly, we do not weld on the car like some shops and we have extremely high standards in our work, so the exhaust would come of, get cut, go back on and off, tacked, checked again, and finished welded. We would not allow a job like this to leave the shop with uncentered or crooked tips.

We asked to have the car brought in and to see the tips because we suspect it could be done quicker, but there is no way to know this without physically seeing the tips and measuring them, we can not give an accurate quote and that is explained to every customer in this sort of situation and the "worst case scenario" is given because we honor our quotes regardless of the overage it takes.

Its possible to sawzall the OEM tips off the car put the new tips on, and weld it on the car very quickly. But we believe that is substandard, and not the quality of work our customers expect.
