Flex Pipe on Exhaust replacement 99 SLE

Postby kaarona1 » Fri Mar 08, 2013 10:59 am

I have a 99 SLE with 190k miles and have a hole in the flex pipe/joint of the exhaust. Muffler shop said that they can not weld on the new flex pipe without taking the exhaust down. Said the V6 has 2 pipes, which it does.. but said that they can not get the welder head around the 2nd pipe. He said $150 if he could do it with the exhaust still up, but since he can't it would be $250. Does this seem right?

Put your car on jack stands, take it off yourself. Its not hard at all. There's no way I'd pay either of those prices

lol i had leak in my flex pipe. i spent 150 on fixing it but i needed it done for inspection so i didnt care too much to pay up the ass. either that or just not use the car.
i spent 240 to get my greddy sp2 and an intermediate pipe installed the same place. but i might want to change exhaust. i want a TRD exhaust. haha picky me XD
