Default Ballpark Cat. price?

Lookin to replace the cat, pipe, and muffler, and was wondering some ballpark price ranges I should look for. I'm hoping 250 bucks could get me a basic job. Is that reasonable?

Well a basic cat only costs about 50 bucks, but a nice direct fit one will run you about $150
Mufflers range anywhere from $30-$70
Clamps are gonna run you about 12 bucks.

$250 will get you there.


Here's a link to a direct fit catalytic converter.

Any idea what the labor rate could run on that? I know it's variable but what's a standard so I know I'm not being jipped.

meineke? We have one around here. I'll make a few calls tomorrow. That direct fit, according to the description, seems like you could do it in your garage.

You could do the direct fit yourself with a few dollars worth of clamps.

Paid $64.50 for my cat and $65.00 for my muffler, with free shipping for both. $70.00 for install. Didn't use any pipe just stock. $199.50 total.
