Kirk's garage has always been very helpful to me

Kirk's Garage

Other than that, I only know of Hills' Garage near Baltimore and AAM in Annapolis. AAM is a little more expensive though.

Where'd you get your exhaust? and how much did you spend on it?

CP Z · 10-31-2011, 07:14 PM

I got exhaust from jomer at fbnissan, shipped it to me in one day for $769. Sounded like good deal.

The head mechanic at Kirk's Garage is currently in Bogota. A CBE install is pretty easy. About an hour and a half without a lift...

That's a great price. Did you get rolled tips? SS or Titanium? I am also planning on getting this CBE in the near future. (rolled tips in titanium to match the blue paint)

You can also check out Atlantic Motorsports in Gaithersburg. Their prices are the same as Hill's and they do great work as well.

If you can wait - I would suggest waiting for an opening at Kirk's Garage however.
