How much does an exhaust system cost?

The exhaust system works like a human liver! What do we mean, you ask? The exhaust system cleans the exhaust gases from the engine before releasing them into the air. Without it, the environment and people will be at risk to health and the environment.

But what do you need to purchase an exhaust system? You may be interested. The cost of an exhaust system ranges from $300 to $1200 depending on whether it is a complete system, exhaust system type, and exhaust system parts.

It's just a scratch on the surface. In the rest of this article, we will delve into the cost of an exhaust system and the factors that affect it. So, without further ado, let's get started!

What is included in a complete exhaust system?

There are two main types of exhaust systems: reverse axle exhaust systems and rear axle exhaust systems. As we already mentioned, purchasing any of these exhaust systems will set you back between $300 and $1200. 

The total cost depends on factors such as the material used, the type of exhaust, and the quality of the muffler. Because of this, you should expect to pay a $300 low limit, a $1200 high limit, or an average that is $750.

There are two main types of materials used for exhaust systems: stainless steel and galvanized aluminium. Steel is stronger and more durable than aluminum, which is why stainless steel exhaust systems cost more than galvanized aluminum exhaust systems.

In addition, a complete exhaust system consists of parts that include an exhaust tip and a muffler. On average, a high-quality, high-performance muffler costs between $75 and $300, depending on the type of steel used, the thickness, and the quality of the material.

On the other hand, an exhaust tip costs between $25 and $150, depending on the quality of the material. Often, most cat and rear axle exhaust systems come pre-installed with exhaust tips.

The most common materials used to make exhaust nozzles are stainless steel, titanium and chrome. Of the three, stainless steel tips are more resistant to corrosion, so they are also more durable. Plus, they're shiny (though sometimes) and good for adding aesthetics.

Compared to titanium and chrome, you have to pay a little more when buying a stainless steel exhaust tip.

The cost of installing or replacing an exhaust system

Now that we have looked at the cost of the equipment, it is also important to evaluate the cost of installing parts or the entire exhaust system. The best part is that you may never have to spend the money to install a rear or rear axle exhaust system.

Why do we say so? You are probably asking. The truth is that these exhaust systems are pretty much plug and play, so they don't require a lot of work. So you can install it yourself as a DIY task.

As if that weren't enough, some dealers will offer to replace and install a new exhaust system at no extra cost to you, provided you purchased the equipment from their dealer. 

However, if you don't have this option, how much would an exhaust system replacement cost? First, the procedure should last from one to two hours. Secondly, the cost of labor varies from $50 to $60 per hour, which means the total cost will vary from $50 to $120.
