It does actually take about 4 weeks of labor to swap out exhausts. Everyone knows this.

Can't be right. Did they give that to you in writing? Quoting you nearly 30 hours labor? Maybe it was only $320, which isn't that bad.

Did you ask them to explain? At $200/hour (way high) that would mean 16 hours to install - I wouldn't characterize them as "stealers", just incompetent.

If you don't mind taking a short drive to Nynäshamn, go see Stertman Motorsport. Ask for Mattias...I'm sure they'll treat you right.

A friend at BMW will help me free of charge so I am ok, but I only heard good things about Stertman!

You are in Sweden, right? Could that have anything to do with the pricing?

I changed my stock exhaust to an ep2 and it took me 4 1/2 hours. I fooled around at home depot looking for the right raisers needed ( 4 - 1inch 12x12 slabs worked.) I now am looking into a Max Jaxx, which can be removed and reinstalled into the same position.
