If you had a shop install your cat-back exhaust, how much did you pay for the installation?

Save your money and do it in the driveway, catback is one of the easiest jobs. One jack, two jack stands with a few tools and some pb blaster or WD-40. If you can’t do it, should only take the shop an hour, honestly it shouldn’t even take a hour. So your shops labor rate with 1 hour.

I previously owned a 2012 Si Sedan that I installed an Injen "Axle-Back" System on for about $300 - any of you know of similar Systems for my 2018 HB Sport?? Seems like only "Cat-Back" Systems are available - and they run 2 to 3 times more $$............

I believe this is because the stock exhaust is all one piece. It starts at the end of the front pipe. In theory a muffler shop could fab you an axle back by cutting off the stock stuff for less.

I was trying to find some pictures of the stock one, but didn't have any luck in a quick search.

They used my car for development of the Thermal R&D for the Sport/ST hatch. Free install but you should be able to install most of them yourself. The difference between some of the current exhausts is some come with a front pipe and others are just front pipe back. You won't find an axle back as the exhaust is all one piece up to the front pipe.

Either keep it in case you ever need to go back to stock or sell it to a scrap yard. Other than that you probably won't find a buyer as it is huge and hard to transport unless you cut it down.
