^^^ InsanO -- Congrats on your purchase. I have mine for about 2.5 months now and it's great. Just love the exhaust. You'll be breaking necks down under and will be very exclusive. If you can, pair it with HFCs and it's gold! Let us know what you think.

I remember getting a thumbs up from a beer truck driver as I was turning onto the main road after my exhaust was installed at Tony's shop. I do not recall a day when no one turned heads. The sound is just that impressive and coming from a Z does not hurt either.

For the last several weeks I've been reading the threads on the FI exhaust. A couple of questions come to my mind , curious if most people are having them installed or doing it themselves?
I can see the benefit of a lift but I don't know if I trust a chain muffler shop like Midas doing the install on my new "Z".

Also wondering about the labor cost of the installation?
I would appreciate any feedback and maybe a vote of confidence in a place like Midas or suggestions.

A CBE is something that can be done with relative ease...

I would not trust a shop that is not a tuner shop to do work on it.

Get jack stands and a jack and put it up. It can be done with ease.

I'm lucky to have access to a lift :-)

I wouldn't dare take it to a Mineke or Midas to have the work done, but a Custom/Performance auto shop can.

If you're only installing the CBE, then save the money and do it yourself in the driveway. If you're looking to install HFC's/TP's/Headers and are not very well stocked in tools, or don't have a high mechanical ability, I would leave it to the shop for the peace of mind.

I did my LTH's and the rest of my exhaust myself. Using jack stands lifting the Z up about 18" off the ground.

The installation is very straightforward. There is no cutting or welding required. Everything will bolt directly into stock location. We will supply you with new hardware, gaskets and installation instructions. The entire install should not take more than 1-1.5 hours.

Here is a great DYI video below that one of our customers was kind enough to create and share with the community.

If you have any further questions or would like to place an order, please do not hesitate to call me directly.

Thank you, Tony
