Resonator

Hey guys, just wanted to know I didn't get ripped off. $100 (includes labor) for resonator deletes sounds about right? Sorry in advance if I posted this in the wrong section...

2006 E55 AMG --old cars -- E39 M5, 2.7tt Audi S4, E36 M3 **Ducati 996, 748
sounds ok to me -- not really cheap but not really high --- reasonable

Yeah, I paid $70 for res delete with straight pipes. I said "reasonable" meaning I've heard others pay as much as $150 for the work.

Also, you've already paid for it and the last thing you want to here is that you got ripped off. Don't sweat it, $100 is that bad if you got quality work.

Okay so I didn't like the result of a straight pipe..it sounds great when its actually going but when Idle or stopped it sounds like a mustang or a truck (blug...blug...blug) so I got them to install a custom X-pipe and added $50 for the X-pipe so all together $150... So in regards to sound result...it seems like its about the same...high rpm it may be a little louder. I believe I should think about swapping the muffler to something else and that should fix the issue in regards of getting a deeper and a little louder sound.
