My 304 isn't running the best since putting it back on the road after many years so took it to a local performance shop and got quoted $2100 for the following work Rebuild fuel injectors Upgrade exhaust to 3inch with High flow cats Tidy up some fuel line hoses Fix power steering pump seal I think it's an alright price but what are your thoughts?

Exhaust would be $1200 if it's twin high flow cats into single 3 inch With mandrel bends.

new injectors $400 new steering pump $180 two hi flow cats $260 twin exhaust cat back well depends on exhaust there's plenty off shelf items around $$$??? labor $600+easy??? for that price of $2100 id be wanting new parts not just replacing a seal on the pump plus i would want a good service to. you could install injectors and power steering pump yourself within an hour easy witch would cut labor down to just the exhaust and also on another note will a twin 3 inch be overkill on your car ?

Are you saying 2 X 3" hi flow cats are $260 for the pair? what shop are you going to? I could have done everything myself however I'm sick of farking around with it and would rather have it right so I can enjoy my sunday drives in it plus it desperately needs a tune 3 Inch suits the 5L well with the correct system on it, I guess I'll be the judge when I get it back next week. The exhaust was originally quoted at $1500 alone and that was a price from 2 other shops as well (give or take $80)

Ebay for cats.....twin 3 inch on 5ltr will equal loss of power and to much noise but its ur car and choice

A bloke I know has a vt ss with a 355, come racing twin throttle body manifold, all pretty good stuff and it had a twin 3 inch system on it, looked unreal, was a work of art and sounded great with a 288 cam- but it never worked, made a bucket load more power with a twin 2.5 inch on it. Each to their own but

I agree with NASTY1, i got 2 Stainless Magnaflow 3.5" hi flow cats for that price from the US. And what is rebuild injectors? The price is very subjective based on the exhaust you are going to end up with. My advice Order new injectors - (Or i have OEM ones i no longer need ill post to you for cheap) Thats if that is your problem. Order your cats, muffler and resinator off summit. Get them to just do the pipework. (x2 2.5" cats, x1 3" muffler, x1 3" resinator) <$550 delivered for stainless magnaflow items. And seal kit for your pump is like 15 bucks.

Would be interesting to know what shop it was

Each to their own but I've got a dyno sheet before and will get one after, have a guarantee if it doesn't work or if it's not to my liking it will be changed to a 2.5 two into one. No skin off my nose either way really , oh and I wouldn't buy any performance parts off fleabay....what a suckers game that is and you deal with farkwits half the time

We must all be suckers then....i know i live on ebay have purchased awesome bargains and also sold lots of gear aswell. What shop told you this about the twin 3 inch.i know for a fact some decent headers with twin hi flow cats into a single over the diff and into a nice resinator will work better.been there done that...

lol... you don't want to know how much I just paid for my exhaust on the VL which is a custom twin 3" mandrel bent with custom extractors 2 x 3" cats, 2 x mufflers, and 2 x resonators. This stuff aint cheap!

This stuff aint cheap! Apparently it's cheap in Adelaide Be careful saying 'All of us' as some of us aren't besides the question wasn't whether you think what I'm getting done is right for the car or not otherwise I would of put the full specs up of motor and the rest of the running gear and then you could judge me based on that not go off half ****ed with your opinion without having the whole story. I would have been happy to list what is has and taken advice from there but thats not what I'm asking It could be twin turboed for all you know dude

yeah but its not! people are just tryng to help you out here mate! too expensive if you ask me, id do 3/4 the work myself, but as said, your car do what you want!

What are you on about, you put up a question with half the story people gave opinions based on what you put forward. Good answers require good questions
