Default how much to fit centre section and cat pipe?

Hi

Thinking of fitting an Afterburner Centre section and afterburner cat pipe to my 2004 wrx which currently has the racebox rear silencer fitted.

How much do you think is a reasonable price for a garage to fit the above?

Thanks in advance.

Did you notice much difference from the work you had done? I'm guessing it got a bit louder but did it feel quicker?

Would fitting the Afterburner Centre section and afterburner cat pipe get the car through an MOT?

Aye no bother on emmisions as you are leaving the main cat in place.

No more than £30 at a local garage, its a 15 minute job, you can do it with just spanners and some gum for the rear joint.

Perhaps if you say were you are someone on here would do it for a couple of pints - I would if you're local to Leamington Spa.

I'm located in Maidenhead which is about 20 mins outside of London on the M4.

I've emailed a local garage. Still need to source the pipes before arranging fitment.

OK, maybe someone from the area will pipe up - it helps to fill in your profile so we can see these details without asking!

Many thanks for the offer but a Suabru garage has quoted me about £25 so I'll just take it along to them. Cheers
