I thought it was a cheap job, but my local shop quoted me nearly 1k..
Turner sell the X-Pipe for $399

It's easy... Metal saws-all, jack the car up, measure, cut, bolt up test pipes, slide on clamps, tighten clamps. Took me 2 hours. I wouldn't pay someone more than $250 to install them, I've heard of people having it done cheaper.

+1, getting the initial cut straight and in the right location is primary challenge.

Thanks everybody - gave me good appreciation of what is important (measurement, straight cuts!) and a good price point for any quotes I get back.
I think I will press with the purchase of the Test pipes and tune - now, what does everyone think of including a X-pipe? Any tone/rasp issues? ...I am currently running BMW M Perf Exhaust. Cheers! SF
