Turboback Install

Just curious on what is the average price a shop should charge to do a turboback install? I have a TurboXS TBE for my '11 Ralliart.

It takes about an hour of work, but they will charge you 2.
Probably $200 tops. Hopefully lower if their hourly labor is cheaper.

This is an excellent DIY project. Which only requires a one special tool.
It's not even special either, it's a 22MM or 7/8 wrench that can be used as a nice weapon.
Also use liquid wrench/PB Blaster on the bolts.

Why doesn't he just install the cat-back section and the test pipe/high flow cat/whatever on his own and have the jerks at a shop do the downpipe

Thanks for the replies but I really have 0% mechanical ability. I don't have the tools, knowledge or space to do my own installs.
On a related topic, what are some good shops in/around the Baltimore area for taking Ralliarts to do any type of work?

I'm a Ralliart owner in Baltimore as well, and I have an appointment to take my car to Mandrel Bend Solutions in Pasadena(410-360-7106) in a couple weeks, or you could try Mid Atlantic Muffler in Baltimore City which is also very good(410-323-5022). Where do you live?
