Ok so Im about ready to order an SLP Loudmouth I catback system for my 2002 GT. Unfortunatly I no longer have any jacks so doing it myself is most likely not gonna happen. Does anyone know roughly how much it will cost to have it done at a shop? I know labor rates are different everywhere but maybe someone on here who had it done in a shop could give me a ballpark figure. I would like to have the stock cat back taken off in all one piece if possible which I know is more difficult than just cutting it and will probably cost twice as much.

$50.00 will buy you a jack and jack stands.

I just put the LM1 on a few days ago...buy yourself some jack stands and do it yourself. By the way - you'll need a hack saw to cut the old pipes off unless you can jack the car up high enough. The slp clamps require a 5/8 wrench and also do yourself a favor and spray the end of the h-pipe bolts with wd-40 before the install. Had i known these things before I could've shaved about 30min off the install time. Took about an hour and a half to install, but i took my time and got everything lined up properly
