Exhaust Install Question

I just went to curry's auto in Alexandria to get my Meisterschaft exhaust installed it is a full cat back and two pipes. They charged me 289.

Does that sound about reasonable? I mean if it's a little higher than the norm that's not a big deal but that's seems ridiculous

They've got 2 hours of labor at 131 an hour
An 28 dollar shop bs fee for oils waste and misc parts.
And tax. Coming out to almost 300.

$289 is a little high imo but prices vary depending on location I guess. I'm in the Bay Area, CA. and my 2011 WRX had full catback with dual mufflers with quad tips and paid $100 for installation. Paid $130 for for my Borla ATAK on my F30 335i.

yeah it seemed ridiculous, however I was in a rush to get this exhaust installed before i changed my mind about it again. I just looked at the receipt. the exact total was 289.xx I think that's pretty absurd.

they finished the job in 40 minutes yet billed me for two hours and charged me a shop fee...gonna call them up and see what they're willing to do.

Yeah, $289 is pretty outrageous for 40 minutes of labor. I hope you get reimbursed some.

They weren't willing to give me a partial reimbursement. I attempted talking to manager and he basically blew off cause I already signed all papers which is correct and I understand but this is a ripoff. I went ahead and disputed the charge though my Bank of America car. Hopefully they're willing to give me the partial refund.

On another note this exhaust is a freaki g monster. No video does it justice. If anyone is interested in it or wants to hear it in person hit me up.
