Exhaust time!

Aevoh · 07-01-2019, 11:42 AM

What is a fair price for installation of an axle back exhaust for a 4 series coupe???

NicksN20F30 · 07-01-2019, 12:01 PM

Depending on whether or not there is cutting and welding involved probably somewhere between the $300-$400 range.

Axle back...DIY.

Cut on dimple then install using a clamp... they sell OEM for MPE or aftermarket.

Call a muffler shop with solid reviews - they can quote you over phone. You can do it really inexpensively.

I got my MPE installed for $100-$120 bucks.

Oh I never got an install at this price lol. But back when I was looking around for pricing, this was a quote I consistently got.

I went a different route.

$150 for AWE cat back. Now that I have the proper jack stands you can DIY in less than an hour.

Got my MPE installed for $60 at a reputable indy shop in Milwaukee, their hourly rates are $75. It took them about 20 minutes from putting it on the lift to handing it over to me

I just bought a Dinan axleback from someone on this forum and installed it myself (F33). I am not anywhere close to an expert on this type of work; In fact, I've never done any type of exhaust work. It ultimately took me longer to put the car on jack stands than it did to actually cut off the stock muffler and clamp on the new one. It's extremely DIY-able. After installation, I thought it was hanging a little low, so I bought new muffler hangers, and then removed and rehung the muffler in about 30 minutes. It's all way less complicated than I expected when I started thinking about replacing my exhaust.

With that said, if you don't have the equipment or don't want to mess around under the car, I would expect that any trustworthy indie shop could do this on a lift in well under an hour.

Takes less than 45 minutes so no more than $100

I would recommend the Borla atak not to loud just but just loud enough where its not angering anyone Borla has a vid on their exhausts to show the differences in the two they have though.
