$50-70 is pretty reasonable takes them only 20min to install.. i paid $60 for mine, but anything above $70 just walk away.. unless you just want to get it over with and pay them..

Altered Atmosphere in Gaithersburg, MD tried to charge me $300 to install mine citing 'serious fitment problems' with the HKS Hi-Power. I almost laughed at them over the phone before I hung up.

do it yourself, only a few bolts , jack the car up and your done, shouldnt take no more than an hour or so if you got the tools, plus it would be gratifying knowing that you installed it yourself and saves alotta cash!

Just go "rent" The tools from walmart. 14mm Socket w/ wrench and a 14mm Crescent wrench is about all you should need.

$100 is too much to install a cat-back, IMO.

You shouldn't be paying more than $60.

For the price of a decent jack you could just get it installed at a shop. Getting a jack would be reasonable if you know that you are going to be jacking your car up for a lot of future mods such as springs, etc.
