I ordered a catback today (Tanabe DTM for 97 accord) and was wondering if they were easy to install(i.e. bolt on) or if I need to go to a muffler shop because its difficult and/or requires welding. I have a 2.3 so i think it will fit without being modded. If I should go to a muffler place to have it installed any idea what it costs? I thought i saw it on here before but I couldnt find it searching.

 

Tanabe??? oh oh, rice bomb! anyways.....any midas or meineke shop will charge you 60 bucks including if they have to weld it in....lifetime warranty on labor

 

if it just needs to be bolted on, they' usually charge round $20.

 

not around here.. my greddy evo cat bolted right up and when i called places they told me upwards of $90.. even when i told them no welding..

ended up putting it on myself.. just like everything else on my car... not only is it free, but you learn a whole lot more..
