Shops charge way to much money. On my balt I was quoted $350 to install lowerin springs! Thats when I learned to do it myself I think some shops will rape anyone who dont know what a fair price is.

Update: **** your in maryland I would have welded your bung for ya.

i work at a shop and yes that is very high BUT was the shop going to take the downpipe off for you and reinstall it. if so they may have wanted the 80 because they planned on replacing the gaskets. if they dont and it leaks its now on them unless they make you aware it may leak before hand. and also there out to make money lol
