Roughly how much is it to get an exhaust and downpipe fitted at a garage. I got quoted 250! from a garage that's on here APT Norwich
Surely it's a couple of hours work 100 tops?

250 is abit steep dont take long if its just from elbow to back box do it your self for free its easy
Is that with them supplying the exhaust as well as seems a bit steep. If its a decent exhaust which wouldnt need modifying to get to fit then can fit yourself easy. A bit tight if on axel stands but only a few hours work if that. Most garages charge about £40 an hour and on a lift it would probably take them about an hour.
It's an apexi N1 and a HKS downpipe. I said i have all the gaskets, hangers, mounts and bolts too!
£250 if they were doing the elbow too perhaps lol. If I were you, I'd just do it myself. Go into quick fit (or your nearest exhaust place), slip them £20 and ask them to undo the 3 nuts on the elbow>downpipe, then lightly tighten them back up with a socket to get you home, and that should be the worst of the job done
.
from the turbo elbow (downpipe) and decat/cat back - its 2 hours work with plenty brew breaks so max of £100.
go to a local back street garage and get them to do it or do it yourself
i got quoted £60 years ago and decided to put that £60 towards a £100 halfords 150pc tool kit and did it myself in under an hour. you need a bloody long extension bar do get to the downpipe from the engine bay, otherwise it's a very easy job
Im guessing APT are very busy and don't have time to get another car in and lose a few hours on it, it's common in all trades to do this when busy
Get your old clothes on pop down halfords and pick a jack and some axle stands up and DIY
Should take no more than 1Hr to fit and have a cuppa
