Exhaust Cutouts - SL65
Had a shop look into installing QTP exhaust cut outs on my stock SL65. He quoted me 20(!) hours to do the install? Does that sound right? Or is he trying to scam me thinking I have tons of money?

That's called the Mercedes tax. Many of the vendors here charge the same type of taxes and some sell the same crap you can by directly from China but at a 500% markup. Just move on to someone who does not charge the MB tax.

I agree. 20 is high. However, If a customer came in my door looking for this kinda work, I wouldn't hang cutouts for less than 12 hours. If they want it cheaper than that, they can go to Midas!

I had a whole exhaust made with 3 inch mandrel bend exhaust from the catless downpipes with qtp cutouts all the way to the hi flow muffers for 3k on my sl65. 20 hours sounds way too much just for cutouts.
