How much will it cost too replace a 2004 ford escape muffler?

Any vehicle 10+ years old will be costly to repair. Any dealership will find ALL the problems with your vehicle. You cannot replace the muffler alone due to age. It will cost $1000+ for a complete exhaust system. I bet they quote you $2500 to repair/fix much more than a muffler.

Better go there and get quote. But I didn't find them good. They fixed something and broke some other part and not ready to accept.

Call and ask them
