Default Standard exhaust quote, 66 quid difference between Hi-Q and ETB?

As title just wondered how they work that out, Hi-Q wanted £150 off me to fit/supply a standard centre section, so off i went to get another quote at ETB round the corner, they want £84.

So whats the difference, is it because Hi-Q will fit a better quality item, or is it simply exactly the same thing, except ETB are much more better priced?

Could be that Hi-Q offer a better/longer warranty and/or better quality part or they are just trying it on

as with most things in life you get what you pay for

who is ETB ?

generally most places fit euroflow exhausts which are budget shite but some garages will only fit bosal or timax units as they fit better ( alot of exhausts are a cunt to fit ) oh and also timax and bosal units wont sound like a peco after its bedded in

Could be quality could be mark up ,when I worked for national we got most things in at half price tyres mainly thats how we could do "deals" just take less profit.
