I just bought used headers and straight down pipe to exhaust for only $40! WOW! I'm so excited. This will definitely replace the exhaust leak I currently have on the RX-7 right now.

How much should I pay to get this installed on to the RX-7?
With new rubber flanges, and gaskets.

 

looks like it needs some metal hangers welded onto it. i'd say $150 or so.

 

The 3rd picture with the exhaust, the two metal hangers are sticking out, do you see em?

You think I'd get an estimate of $150?

 

dude, just fucken bolt it up. its not that hard at all.

 

WTF! Why Didn't I Think Of That!?!

 

lol, seriously though. Drop by independent shops and try to rent a lift (and air tools preferably) for a day..it is REALLY simple. Buy a can of PB blaster.

 

Thank You. I'm going to drop by a shop I know that'll probably let me get on the lift for cheap, maybe they might even install it.

Looks to be an under-the-axle exhaust. Jack up the car and DO IT.

You can pay me $150 and I will do it for you.

 

I'll do it for $125.

 

That's going to be a loud *** exhaust! Get under your car and put that **** on. Installing an exhaust is simple.

 

they better not charge u more than $50

 

It's not even funny how loud that exhaust is going to be. The car is going to sound like a Weed Whacker on crack. You will violate local noise laws and probably get pulled over within 15 minutes of driving the car. That's if you can stand the noise enough to actually drive it.

That said, the install should only involve about 1.5 hours at a competent shop. The stock exhaust nuts are often rusted so the stock exhaust will most likely be cut off. The manifold nuts usually come off without too much trouble but to help them out, apply a good helping of penetrating oil for a few days before you bring the car in. A few shots a day will loosen things up nicely.

As others have said, figure around $150 to have installed.

Then figure another $150 to have it pulled off when you find it's obnoxiously loud, and then $500 at least for a quality exhaust that will make more power with less noise.

 

yeah, i see that there are 2 hangers on the can's...you think thats going to keep the rest of the exhaust in place? you need at least another one by the Y pipe...add in the cost of new gaskets, and a couple hours labor you are looking around $150.

but as everyone else said...that exhaust is going to be nasty loud and sound like crap.

 

your profile says TII and you bought a header..Why?
I was going to mention Auxilary ports,but now,I am confused as to what car you are driving.

 

i got my header back exhaust for 20 woot woot
single exit (with presilencer and another muffler as cat)
not as loud as everybody said it would be but some are really as loud as they say


it took like 6 hours or so to get mine on by ourselves (including taking old one off)....but both were all in one piece
the 'new' one was rusted and sealed by that rust so didnt take it apart

interested in how much it would be to get the gasket at the block replaced...getting the header bolted down took foreverr

 

Thank You for all Your Replies and Support.

I just got back from getting it finished from one of Carlos Lopez (CLR) close friends.
Vince from Caribe Mufflers on 40th St/Bird Rd. did all the work for me. Very cool guy, he did it for me for only $65.

He told me from the past when he did Carlos Lopez cars, that I should keep my Catalytic. So I went with his suggestion. He cut the pipe in half and welded it to the catalytic.

Hehe this 7 sounds loud now. Now, I'm satisfied.

 

post a vid

 

Have your ears stopped ringing yet?

 

not all single exits are annoyingly loud..

(not saying there arent but)

 

I know they all aren't, but that one looks like it would be .

The cat will help a lot with sound control. It was a good call in keeping it.

 

Actually that credit goes to Vince from Caribe Muffler.
Yup, I'm glad though with everything on there.

By the way, I love your website.
I like your Tech Guide with the actuators. I definitely have that on my to-do-list because mine are Frozen for sure. Even did the Grease test.
