I heard many forum members on here saying they paid around $40-$60 bucks for the installation of an x-pipe in place of the stock resonator and that it takes no longer than about 30 mins to do even with adding the required extender pipes that the popular magnaflow x-pipe requires.

Well, I tried to get that price at 3 different shops this morning in Los Angeles and they all wanted at LEAST $120 and the highest was $150.

Can anybody please recommend a shop that charges a fair price? I feel like the second these guys ask at the front desk what type of car it is for and I say Mercedes, they automatically double their price....

Much appreciation for anyone who can advise or point me in the right direction... Had this X-Pipe in my trunk for 6 months now and need it installed!

Have you tried mike's mufflers in el monte? I went there to get quad tips and xpipe done.. price seemed fair.

I want to Laguna Muffler SVC in Laguna/Lake Forest and they charged me $60. The old gentleman there (forgot his name) did mine and the welds were very nice and clean with nice circular puddles. Sadly I couldn't get him to do quad tips for my car since "he has too much respect for these cars." You win some you lose some. I respect his point of view though.

Is there a SoCal shop that can supply magnaflow x pipe?

ya ok, on the lift and with the welder I don't have. hence the reason for this post.

Do you ever post anything positive?

I know there were a few people in the LA area or LA county that have an x-pipe as well... How much did you guys pay and what is fair?

Can't wait for when I get time to drive to OC and hope I can get installed closer sooner!

If you go to the OC, you should take it to Ace Muffler in Westminster, CA. I paid $50 and the people working there are pretty cool. Look them up on Yelp for near perfect reviews.

nice man thanks that is closer than laguna beach from LA....

I will go there if nobody can provide an LA place....

I called a couple and they all wanted $120 minimum

+1. Some of my friends had work done there and said it was pretty good. Although I hear sometimes it may get busy/take a while longer for the job to get done than previously expected/estimated.

Was looking for a place last year and mwaldron suggested Koko at Supertuning Performance.

Called ahead and brought it in, Koko did a fine job. Can't remember how much I paid, maybe $90?
