Newbie Help - 2006 Volvo S60 2.5T exhaust repair/replace (Mechanic or DIY?)
I have a beautiful Blue 2006 Volvo S60 2.5T that has run 106,000 miles. I recently touched the curb while getting out of a parking lot exit and the tip of the exhaust that extends a lil out near the rear of the car (I believe it is called the muffler, excuse my technical knowledge on cars) fell off. It was rusted.
I decided to take the car to a mechanic to get it fixed. He said it needs to be replace as it cannot be welded back or fixed from a future inspection standpoint. I agree, since I want my car in the best of shape.
He called me up today to tell me the exhaust replacement costs $1100. Although I know little about cars, I am aware that the entire exhaust system does not overhauling or replacement.
I think this maybe more than required or I am being overcharged.
Your valuable comments and help will be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Thank you for the quick reply. I would post a pic of the exhaust to be more clearer. But I do not know how to do that.
