Re: an estimate.. $$ Tell him to suck a banana. I wouldn't pay more than 40 bucks for a job that small.

Re: an estimate.. $$ I hope I dont get more dirt added to my name after this comment. But honestly bro If he is trying to charge your that much for that lil bit of work... Dont even pay them for trying to dick you... That sould be about 30-40 dollar job.
Im not gona lie but my exhaust guy use to do my 3" piping all the way to the back. With the flex part and all. for $110. Good work. Im thinking of going back to see if how much he would do me a electric cut out on the Tsi.

Re: an estimate.. $$ That's a douche bag move on your part. YOU should have secured an install price before you agreed to the work. They might be over charging you but as I'm concerned, if you were too lazy to install it yourself, then you pay whatever the asking price is.

Re: an estimate.. $$ it at most could be an hour long job unless they ran into issues, most shop rates are $75 an hour.
but you should have gotten a solid quote upfront like other said, so its your bad.

Re: an estimate.. $$ I just got my catback done last tuesday at a local muffler shop in pomona. They gave me a quote up front on the labor before they even touched the car. By the way, i only paid 40 big ones and it was about an hour job. Should of asked before bro. Dont give DSM'ers a bad rap and pay what you agreed to.
