For those of you who have installed the Akrapovic exhaust, may I know how much you were quoted/paid to have the work done?
I was recently quoted $1100 for 7 hours of work.
Does this seem like too much, just right or a good price? TIA
7 hours may be accurate if they don’t have a lift, need to go to the store to buy all the tools which they are charging you for and are including a paid lunch.

Yeah so I figured 7 hours seemed like a bit too long for just an axle back, I know the rear bumper has to come off but it seems 7 hours is awhile. What do you think is right?
What city/state are you located in? That will make a difference. If you are in So Cal or Arizona, i can give you some shop names that can give you a good quote and do high quality work.

Im in NJ but frequent NY back and forth. So either state really.
I am in Brooklyn and paid $500 for installation of my Akrapovic Slip-on at a local shop. They did a good job and were done with it in about half a day.

I am in Brooklyn all the time! May I please know where you went to have this done? And how many hours they should quote me for this at labor rate?
Porsche rear bumpers are not that complicated to remove and re-install.
It seems the consensus is that 7 hours is too much but no one is commenting on how long I should expect for it to be done. What is your opinion on the length of time it should take?
If you're installing this on a 992 you do not need to take off the rear bumper. My brother installed mine in his front yard with just a jack and a couple of jack stands in less than 2 hours.

I can only tell you my personal experience - I removed the bumper from my 991.2 Touring, installed an exhaust and put it all back together in about 4 hours. And that was the first time. I’d imagine doing it again would take about 3 hours or even less. I’d say that’s a rough ballpark for real time.
Your shop is probably charging book time, which will almost always be more.
I also paid around $500, but in Texas, this time last year. It was their first install on a 992. I would go with the shop that brianja recommends. They have experience now
