02 sensor addition
Hi guys, I have a 98 RS and have been running a brullen header, no cat, and 5zigen fireball midpipe/exhaust for a few years now. Instead of switching back to my stock exhaust to get it smogged (live in Truckee, CA) I decided i'd have a 2.25" magnaflow high flow cat installed along with the appropriate 02 bungs so I could just run this exhaust all the time, and hopefully the cat would quiet it down a bit.
I brought it to Mr. Z's and they had quoted me $310 for the above work. They called me today and said it was done. I asked if they got it all in, cat, o2's etc and if it was all good. The employee there, Mark, said "oh, we just put the cat and 02 bungs in, not the sensors, we thought you were going to do that". I'm not mad at that, as I guess it was just a misunderstanding. The above work came to $325.
But I asked what it would cost to put in the 02 sensors and he called back and said it would be $300 for the 2 sensors. I guess the Brullen header has the exhaust bung that is supposed to be behind the cat, in front of the cat, so they have to lenghten the rear one to reach up front....somthing like that. Mark said it would be 2 hours labor and whatever the cost for building the 2 o2 sensors so I guess that's $300.
Do I just have to bend over and take it or is there a cheaper option/garage/buy my own parts etc.
I appreciate the help.
Mark
