I just had both sides replaced also, muffler shop miss quoted me and didnt say anything till i overheard them talking about it after the job was done. i got out the door for $160 to do both sides, i offered to pat the correct price, but they wanted to stick to the quote

I sure hope they put good, rust-resistant flex pipes in for you. I had both replaced and they rusted out in less than a year. The originals were replaced after ten years. The shop offers a "taillights warranty" only. That is the normal rule for stuff like this. One of the few jobs that's not for me as I don't like using a cutting torch.
