Can I ask why you don't want to do it yourself. It's SUPER easy. All you need is a couple of wrenches/ratchets, some ramps to back up on to, and [optional...] a buddy to help hold the exhaust up/align the exhaust. It literally took me 33 minutes start to finish.

I have no idea what it should cost, but since it takes about 30 minutes, you're probably looking at the minimum 1 hour shop rate.

the shop i use to weld exhausts for me here in alabama would charge about 30 bucks to do it. since you're in CA it is probably higher. it's really straight forward, but if you don't have proper equipment like jackstands and jack i wouldn't recommend trying it.

buy the jacks and wrenches, its a good investment anyways. Its so easy to do it yourself. If you must take it to a shop it doesn't really matter which shop you take it to cuz its so easy they really can't f it up. So find the cheapest place. My guess would be some where in the range of $40 is the most i would spend for this kind of install.

I installed my Tanabe exhaust in Valley Mufflers in City of Industry. It is bolt on so any muffler shop can do it.
