im sorry but your getting ripped off. Just buy the thing online and install it yourself. You'll be happier knowing you did the work yourself and save yourself about $600+.

800 for an install? or install + the exhaust? either way, that's alot. an exhaust is crazy easy to do, maybe a local member can help you.

even $500+ to me is ridiculous for exhaust so there is no way I'd pay $800

well make sure you get the right size piping and that sounds like a great price.

mandrel bent is even size piping through the bends. crush bent is not.

imagine this, take a drinking straw, the kind that has the little flexible part at the top. you can bend that and still drink, right? now, take one that doesn't have the flexible part at top (or flip it over) bend it to the side, and try to drink. it's much harder that way because around the bend, the sides of the straw cave in, closing the space making it hard to flow.

crush bends are not the way to go, regardless of price. if he says he doesn't do mandrel, don't waste your money.
