I saw that road on Google Maps during a slow day at work and am glad to know my suspicions are confirmed!

Labor question - has anyone gotten HFCs/Test pipes installed around here anywhere? May be picking some up soon and am curious to know what install cost would look like.

Barring an encounter with the 'demon bolt', I would guess you are looking at about an hour of labor, with a ball park guess of about $125. Hit the HAZCC FB page for the shop that offers a discount to HAZCC members.

Modified By KC just quoted me $265 with a 20% increase on labor if I bring my own parts. That costs more than the part!!

Thinking I may just save the dollars and go DIY. Any of you guys have any demon bolt experiences to sway me one way or the other?

From what I've read, some folks have problems, some don't. What I would do is soak the bolts with PB Blaster or Kroil for about an hour, then use an air impact to take off the nuts. If you have access to a lift, then using a torch is an option to heat the nut red hot, then let it cool. The third option is cutting tool and new nuts and bolts.

I think the HAZCC shop is Santa Fe in Independence. Don't quote me on that, I looked yesterday, and then promptly forgot.

It might be worth the $35 to join, rather than pay the extra 20% for Modified by KC to install stuff. I know the shop that offers the HAZCC discount is good with us bringing our own parts.

MKC charges way too much for labor. Be careful...

I'm in Springfield MO but would gladly drive up for a meet or cruise on a weekend.. I've got an Athens blue G37S, couple breather mods, nothing earth shattering.

Edit: Crap, sorry for the giant picture
