You'd want a 3 inch cat on a stock exhaust. My solution if you are trying to save money is to buy a 3 inch mild steel cat and then ring around to see how much someone can cut and shut it for. Fark, if you really wanna save money then buy a hacksaw and a second hand gasless mig and do it yourself if you can use the welder alright.

If you don't want to save money that's fine. There is no conflict between me and the exhaust guy. Its just I know how long it should take and how much he gets parts for. Its still going to be $99 per hour his happy/ I'm happy. Edited 12/10/18 08:40 AM by adams355 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't have the invoice where I am, so I don't have the price for the actual cat or Y-piece or labour breakdown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was quoted $550 minimum yesterday by another. Its coming down lol. 58 minutes ago, k31th said: I got a 3.5inch stainless cat supplied, stainless Y-piece from cat to stock exhaust supplied, cut and re-welded into place for $340 in this post - Did you go 3.5 off stock dump?

El Andrew Gold Donating Members 2,019 Member For: 9y 2d Gender: Male Location: Canberra ACT Posted 12/10/18 09:27 AM Share Posted 12/10/18 09:27 AM Half the time it depends how busy they are too. Same as builders etc quoting for small jobs. I rang two places to get a bung welded into my dump for the wideband sensor on the BA. One guy said $350… another said $100.Guess which one has had all of my exhaust work and the numerous recommendations to friends since?Oh yeah and then there was the place that quoted ten hours to do diff bushes and front and rear shocks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
