I went in for what I would have imagined to be an exhaust pipe replacement, and the shop told me I would need the
Muffler-$93.71, Elbow Pipe, $96.37 Extension Pipe $ 95.06 and Resinator $116.46 replaced.
This seems like alot to me, am I being an idiot or are all these things truly necessary?

Thanks!

Hello,

It is possible that you need the whole system replaced. Especially if it is all rusted out. If you can take a few pics and post them I can give better idea of parts needing replacement.
