Midas Mufflers: Rip-Off Artists

There is a hole in the muffler of my 1986 900, and it also needs a gasket near the manifold. Only five months ago, the exhaust had been replaced except the muffler itself and the tailpipe.
I took it to a Midas on Fourth Avenue in Brooklyn. They said the wait would be two hours. I went back when they said to, and they promptly kept me waiting another hour. Then they gave me the cost: $411!
The gasket was listed at $15.95, with labor to install charged at $60!
The muffler itself was listed at $189 and labor of $80. Brackets and pipes (which aren't needed) made up the rest.
I've got half a mind to pelt the place with rotten eggs.
