Dont dwell on it mate you have paid it and your happy with the results so that should be what matters ,

the prices look about normal though to be fair

[bignum]

Prices dont look too bad tbh, did you not get an estimate before they started( although its tricky with custom stuff).

Also most of the small jobs you could probably have done yourself?

[welshbuddy]

screamer pipe sounds ridiculously expensive ?

You got that right

Keep in mind that it is a side exit screamer pipe that exits by the side skirt behind the front wheel driver side.

[Krister]

Prices seem reasonable to me..

 

I also first looked the screamer pipe price, but it's a fair price if it's that long and complicated.

 

Are the prices Euro or GBP?

cheap!!

Some of it seems cheap, other bits expensive.

 

I had a quote for a basic single install on a UK auto around 5 years ago, the labour was just under £3K plus vat IIRC, so your overall quote seems good TBH.

 

Any idea how many hours labour they're charging you for?

The shop took 8 months to get to finish the project and I had to kick some major but all along the way, though it wasn't very effective hence the time taken to complete the car.
