exhaust work?

[Tubbs76]

Hi all, Im looking at deleting the Suitcase on my VR6. Im currently running a complete remus set up including the suitcase itself. Some of the $s ive been quoted to cut out and weld ina foot and a half of pipe is ridiculous ($80 - $140). Anyone on the site a welder or an exhaust dude by chance who can do this for me?
If by chance your in need of a suitcase,im happy tio give yo my remus one in payment of happy to pay, trying to get away with no more than $60 if possible.


All help appreciated,

how is 80-140 ridiculous? to cut it out, cut a piece of pip to fit, and weld it back in, would take at least an hour, maybe longer, and trades are usually charged at $80+ an hour labour...

it shouldnt take more than 20 minutes if u know what ur doing. a piece of pipe literally 2 shoes long with a small bend. If there was an hour os so's work involved, wouldnt be an issue, the fact is there isnt. What makes the job easir is the way that remus have the piping set up o begin with. Either way, found a local for $60. Did it in 25 minutes, job done. cheers

Hi Tubbs,
what's the name of the shop that did your work?
I got quoted $200 to remove the suitcase and replace with a straight pipe.
Thanks
